is anybody else getting a vibe that some big shite is about to go down? Like global scale, life altering, shite.

I just watched this YouTube video: SOMETHING IS GOING ON ?? Coin Shortage

1. He doesn't believe the Federal Reserve BS about the coin shortage. (Basically they say: Many businesses are shut down so no flow of coin money. As if these businesses are just holding on to their coins)
2. His local grocery store (Myers?) said they can't accept cash or coin money. Debit card or credit only.
3. His conversation a with Coke delivery person saying they don't have some Coke can products because of shortage of aluminum. (Not related to coins. No US coins are made out of aluminum.)
4. His buddy, a manager of Krogers grocery store, said he just had a meeting and they will only accept electronic payment only, no coins no cash money.

Here's the interesting part:
5. He said, the last time there was a coin shortage was WWI and WWII.

So are we stockpiling metals for war?

FYI:
=pennies are made primarily from copper plated zinc.

=the quarter, nickel and dime coins, are made using copper-nickel combination.

Make sure you save all the toothpaste tubes too. I mean for the war effort.

I figured the money thing was to stop exchanging dirty, germ covered currency.

That’s more likely to avoid a war than start one

Ex brother in law (of whom I‘m on good terms with) is a distributor for a major beer company. He told us July 4th that there is indeed an aluminum can shortage that is impending.

This much is true. I shop there and if I pay in cash, they now add the cents to my Kroger plus card, and then deduct it from my next purchase. However, I have no idea why they are doing this.

I don’t know about all that jibber jabber, but I have been worried about how week our country is now and worried about the Muslims striking while we are distracted.

1) If anything on youtube scares you, you are afraid.
2) Coke can products are still readily available everywhere.
3) Smith's (Kroger here in New Mexico) still takes cash no problem.

There is ZERO shortage of aluminum supply. There are so many warehouses full of aluminum owned by investment banks that they literally pay people to move it from facility to facility to reduce storage fees LINK

I'm hanging on to metal money. In an emergency, might be able to use it for something.

More likely for tracking purposes. The government hates cash payers because they can’t track them.
