<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kSigSteve, post: 4642515, member: 72008&quot;]I know there are a few threads around about the coin shortage but this one is a bit different.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1147184[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>About 2 weeks ago several cities started experiencing coin shortages. Our local Chase bank has limited all coin purchases to a limit of 2 rolls per account. This means if you need $2 in cents you can only get $1 today. At the restaurant I operate, that has a drive thru, we have seen this shortage impact first hand. Quarters have been the hardest to come by that I have seen and experienced the worst impact. Several days I have had to go to 2-3 banks to get enough rolls to support change needs.</p><p><br /></p><p>We began utilizing half dollars to cut our quarter usage in half, pun intended. It has worked quite well and the banks have been more than willing to unload the half dollars that have been sitting for so many years and decades. It’s the craziest thing I have seen in awhile, until this article came out.</p><p><br /></p><p>A bank in Los Angeles announced today they will pay $5 for every $100 worth of coins brought in.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.foxla.com/news/coin-shortage-prompts-bank-to-pay-you-for-spare-change-it-has-never-happened-before" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.foxla.com/news/coin-shortage-prompts-bank-to-pay-you-for-spare-change-it-has-never-happened-before" rel="nofollow">https://www.foxla.com/news/coin-shortage-prompts-bank-to-pay-you-for-spare-change-it-has-never-happened-before</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Half dollars are making their way back.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1147183[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
