<p>[QUOTE=&quot;softmentor, post: 1466234, member: 10469&quot;]Well, there are over 4 million retail businesses in the US, many of those have a lot more than one location. Each has at least one cash drawer, most have more than one, and all have coin.&lt;br&gt;Imagine Mcd&#039;s alone, 8 cash drawers and lots in the safe to bring out. I&#039;m guessing here, but they could easily have over 10,000 coins on hand at any one time just for daily business. coin laundries, arcades,&amp;nbsp; others probably have at least 10 times that. There&#039;s coin counting machines in the markets, vending machines, public transportation ...&lt;br&gt;There are over 7000 banks and S and L and other financial institutions with huge amounts of change (LOTS of boxes) could easily average half a million coins each. 7,000 x 500,000 = 3,500,000,000 just sitting in banks on any given day.&lt;br&gt;and there are over 300,000 people in the US, almost all of whom have a hand full of change in a pocket, purse, car, and many of whom have a bucket or jar or bowl full. Statistically the average person handles $800 in spare change per year.&lt;br&gt;it adds up.&lt;br&gt;And the population grows every year, that means more banks, stores, and everything else every year. cha ching&lt;br&gt;and of course there ARE those COLLECTORS!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> &lt;br&gt;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
