<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 616799, member: 13650&quot;]Well, there&#039;s still a lot of change circulating from the 60&#039;s. Some of it has held up ok and hasn&#039;t been lost. You have to figure out of that 300 million, how many kids probably don&#039;t have much if any change. Either too young or don&#039;t care.</p><p>Most likely almost everyone living in nursing homes have no need for a change jar or have given them up. A lot of them eat there and pay for their stay and not much else. So not much change coming in.</p><p>The homeless probably don&#039;t leave change sitting around. Most mentally challenged people probably would not be hoarding change. My wife spends change or uses a debit card for everything.</p><p>I&#039;m sure there are also many others who spend it as they get it too. Not every single person hoards obviously, but enough do to where the mint needs to make more.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You could probably widdle the 300 million down to around 150 million people who would actually be major factors in affecting the change supply, is my guess.&nbsp;&nbsp; And then only a percentage of them would be &#039;change storers&#039; while another percentage spends it and another percentage primarily uses plastic for day to day spending now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
