<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 4863919, member: 2098&quot;]It&#039;s all just temporary. By temporary I mean it could last into next year but it&#039;s hard to say. Several factors went into this coin shortage:</p><p><br /></p><p>#1 Going back to March and April, people were told to stay at home so the usual circulation and deposit of coin jars into banks and Coinstars was considerably slowed down.</p><p><br /></p><p>#2 Many bank lobbies were closed thereby cutting off access for coins to be brought in and processed in either rolls or in coin machines and coin sorters.</p><p><br /></p><p>#3 Most armored car carriers reduced their weekly bank shipments/pickups to only twice a month. The thinking was with this is the carriers didn&#039;t want their employees to get sick from Wuhan virus as it is hard to find armored car employees due to the stringent criminal background checks that are required to hire them. </p><p><br /></p><p>This reduced the transportation of coins considerably. It is to this end I feel it won&#039;t matter how many coins the government produces to compensate for the lack of coins in circulation. Until deliveries return to normal a lot of these coins will just sit around in government vaults.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a solution that has worked well for me:</p><p><br /></p><p>I carry a small change bag that comprises nickels, dimes, cents and primarily quarters. I make exact change with nearly every transaction. Cashiers are often thankful for this. Most banks can spare a roll here and there if you ask around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
