<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 7798602, member: 15588&quot;]It sounds like the term &quot;coin shortage&quot; is very misleading and should get called something more like &quot;lack of coin circulation.&quot; Lack of circulating coins would look a lot like a coin shortage on the surface, so perhaps the misunderstanding is understandable. I have to admit before and after Covid I also used pretty much no cash. I still have the $100 in $20 bills sitting in my wallet from months ago and I haven&#039;t spent a coin in circulation literally in years. Many things have contributed to this: the easy use of plastic just about everywhere, including vending machines, more online purchasing (which doesn&#039;t use cash at all) and my bank completely removing their coin changers and taking a more resistant attitude towards cash in general. To all of that add an inability to go out into the world very much for over a year and you have a situation inimical to the circulation of physical money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
