But it is a drop in the bucket compared to the total output. The population of the US is 342 million. Lets say even 200 million of them have a $5 jar of pennies in their house. That&#039;s 100 billion. There&#039;s still an equal amount in circulation, and half of those that are sitting in jars can be redeemed. There&#039;s no shortage, yet. A majority of people don&#039;t even use cash anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
