I mean it shouldn't be controversial at all. A sudden nationwide shortage of coins at the same time the virus narrative hit? I think we missed what should have been a major red pill. They never was a shortage. I paid cash lots of places and witnessed banks giving business coins as usual. Sigh. Just another in a long list of things that never happened.

I collect coins and therefore I pick up 1 or 2 boxes of every denomination on a weekly basis to search through. I was keenly aware of the shut off of rolled coins about a year ago.
Here's what happened: Businesses that usually brought in coins from customers stopped making sales or really slowed down. Furthermore, almost ALL coins are processed into a business bank account, shipped to a Brinks / Loomis facility, run through a massive counter, re-rolled and boxed for delivery back to the bank, or delivered directly to the businesses that are cash pay heavy.
Well..... the banks closed. The car washes, vending machine, candy machine businesses basically couldnt deposit loose coins, so they ended up in bags and boxes in these business owners' basements and closets.
That ended when the banks opened their lobbies and started taking loose coin deposits again approx July / Aug 2020.
That is all very logical. BUT........ there was no time lapse to allow that to happen and thus be a natural shortage. The coin shortage signs went up the same time as the original shut downs.
