<p>[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4643867, member: 105098"]It's not really a production issue. There's tons and tons of coins from each year technically in circulation. The problem was the interruption to the circulation and in some areas it's continuing again (all my local banks closed the lobbies again for instance). Armored carries do distribution and it's not a solo job. At least 2 per truck, social distancing not possible, but their routes got smaller also from businesses being closed or not able to make the deposits so circulation isn't taking coin out and rerouting and redistributing it back again and causing the shortage.As far as these businesses. I think mostly they don't want to deal with coins and banks and would rather exact change or credit and debit cards. Up to you if you want to do business with a business that would rather put up a sign that says basically "no change given" instead of a sign that says "dear customers, we need coins please" or "free soda if you pay with change for your order" or "5% discount if paying with coin" something like that. </p><p>Plenty of ways they "could" do it to get what they need from the customrs and give out change still, but they decide to go with "exact change or credit cards only". Personally I wouldn't shop there because I read the signs as "no change given, screw you if you don't like it, it's what I'm doing" and as a customer I have the ability to decide to spend my money elsewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways.
