People aren’t spending as much in general, especially in cash.

this part is wrong. In order for the coins to have been dispersed to the public, causing a shortage, means that cash has to have been spent. The issue is that people are getting change and likely not cashing it in at the bank, where it can be distributed back to the stores.
