[QUOTE="Good Cents, post: 8011933, member: 100720"]I just went to another bank this morning and asked the head teller what's going on with the coins. He told me that the Federal Reserve is limiting coins due to "Supply Chain Disruptions." I wonder if there really are problems with the "Supply Chains" for coins now like there are for everything else which is why store shelves are half empty and prices are going through the roof. Or, if it's like you said - only because there are still so many people staying home and so coins are not circulating. Or, maybe it's a combination of both. I think it's a combination, because the coin shortage stopped for about 6 months. Whatever the cause, it's disruptive. My nephews are desperate to find Alabama ATB Quarters to finish their quarter collection books and they also want to search for W quarters. But they can't find any of them while I can't get any Quarter rolls for them to search through. One nephew is trying to fill Penny books, but he can't search Penny rolls now, and another is trying to fill Nickel books but he can't search Nickel rolls now. It's also hard to explain to them what the problem is. The 9 year-old suggested that I try going to a different bank, like the one their parents go to near the park. (His eureka moment.) I told him that I did try going to that bank, but they don't have coin rolls either. These kids put all this effort into their coin collections, and it has to be put on hold. For the second time. And again it's during the cold months when it would be a perfect thing for us to do and a great activity to keep them occupied. Their father thanked me for getting them into coin collecting. He's really glad that they are so into it and said it's a good wholesome hobby and beats video games and other unhealthy things like that. They also help each other with what each one is looking for (instead of the usual sibling fighting). But now it's all on hold. Oh well... :( Anyway, thanks for letting me vent....[/QUOTE]
