So you see these signs around about a National coin shortage. But the coin shortage makes no sense to me. I asked my husband who watches MSM and supposedly it is because people aren’t going out to spend money so coins aren’t circulating. But that means they aren’t needing change either so the system should still balance. What if the government is forcing the shortage to get people used to using cards? Then it is an easier sale when they try to go all digital. “Look, hardly anyone is using cash anyway, so why not just go digital?” It’s all about continual nudges towards their agenda.

Random thought - remember when all the casino slots ran on change? Now I would say 98% use tickets you take from machine to machine. Coins dont wear out do they? What happened to all those coins. Also parking meters, laundromats,etc. We used coins for a lot of everyday things - now we dont. Where did they all go? By the way, in my neck of the woods I have never seen or heard of a coin shortage NW Washington
