Last week when I was running errands 3 of the businesses I went to, had signs up saying they could not except $50 or $100 dollar bills and you had to have exact change. I asked why, nobody could give me an answer.
Soooo, my errands got extended having to find places that would except what I had.
Manufactured otherwise ALL businesses would be affected by it. But somehow only some seem to be affected. I think they are trying to force all of our transactions to be traceable so I carry a huge amount of coins so that I always have exact change.
I am a coin collector. One of my favorite things to do is search through circulated coins to find collectables and silver.
I pick up... hold yer butt... around $8,000 worth of half dollars (16 boxes) every week from 5 local branches, plus an assortment of quarter dimes and nickles. I search through them while I listen to various podcasts, and return them to a branch that will intake, count, and deposit them for me at no charge. BAD ASS bank that I will never leave. I have my mortgage and my car loan through them even though I could beat the rates elsewhere... there is no price for great old fashioned customer service.
THERE IS NO COIN SHORTAGE... what? do you think they ran away? or got abducted by aliens? The national banks just wont order them from the rolling services anymore.The major national banks WILL NOT provide the customer service required to order boxed coins from Loomis, Brinks etc, and hold them in their safes.
Its not a coin shortage... its a customer service shortage. Period.
I am thinking it is more than customer service issue... It seems to affect mostly large businesses ones that have self check outs with video capture..one location today told me that because of the shortage they could only provide coins to live cashiers... So anyone who uses a credit card is definitely on camera with a record of what they are buying... I have noticed over several weeks of observation that it is only at high traffic times when the self check outs are credit only.. So it seems discretionary... Perhapsthey are getting kickbacks (credit discounts from their banks) for video footage? Or someone else is buying video/location footage?
If they were made of silver or even copper, maybe. They are made of junk metal and No One is hording them except banks and the Gov. This is liberal/communism attempting to eliminate Money completely and force digital transactions on Everyone for EVERYTHING. This 'movie' has been made several times (1984) and it will happen unless YOU say NO.
Speaking of a "HARD GRAB" ; The "So Called" coin grab is as sad and pathetic as "BRIDGET B's" new boob's - definitely fake & manufactured !!! absolutely heart breaking and depressing. All good things must come to an end . . . What a bummer.

except???

I just tell cashiers to keep the change. They usually seem thrilled to keep those precious coins.
ABSOLUTELY BULLSHIT.

They want to make it harder for everyone to use money.
