The Fed said it&#039;s producing enough of them, minting 14.8 billion pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, 50-cent pieces and dollar coins in 2020, a 24% increase from the 11.9 billion coins produced in 2019.</p><p><br /></p><p>Instead, the Fed says, the problem is that due to the pandemic the coins are collecting dust in homes and businesses when they should be continually circulating through the economy.&quot; closed quote</p><p><br /></p><p>Quote - &quot;<b><font size="5">How can we get more coins circulating?</font></b></p><p>The Federal Reserve is concerned enough about the coin supply problem that it&#039;s convened a U.S. Coin Task Force to look for ways to get coins moving.</p><p><br /></p><p>To start, the task force encourages individuals to start spending their coins, pay with exact change, deposit spare coins at a financial institution and redeem coins at a coin kiosk or recycler.&quot; Closed quote</p><p><br /></p><p>You can read the full story here -</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/your-money/what-national-coin-shortage-heres-the-scoop-on-your-quarters-dimes-and-nickels/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/your-money/what-national-coin-shortage-heres-the-scoop-on-your-quarters-dimes-and-nickels/" rel="nofollow">https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/your-money/what-national-coin-shortage-heres-the-scoop-on-your-quarters-dimes-and-nickels/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
