<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tamaracian, post: 8014272, member: 23122&quot;]Although I DO carry bills in my wallet for emergency use--and occasionally to buy a scratch off Lottery Ticket--almost none of my routine purchases are other than credit or debit card; IF I do get any change when I get home it goes directly into some jars separated for cents, and all other denominations.&nbsp; When the jars get nearly full I roll the coins in their respective denomination wrapper and deposit them in my bank.&nbsp; <i>Does this behavior contribute to the &quot;coin shortage&quot; in a minor way? </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>My wife and I went to a Dollar General store yesterday to buy some sandwich bags and YES, I did pull out a $5 bill to pay for them instead of using a CC/DC.&nbsp; As you know, just about everything at Dollar General costs $1, so with the 7% FL Tax it&#039;s $1.07.&nbsp; After giving us the 3 $1 singles and 93 cents change, the cashier--in a begging way--asked if we had any additional small change that she could &quot;buy back&quot;, and so we exchanged 4 quarters and 2 dimes + nickel for a $1 bill and a quarter; and that is a real life example of the &quot;Change shortage&quot;!</p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
