AFAF TIA

Since there is a coin shortage does that make the coins more valuable?

People aren’t spending as much in general, especially in cash. They still exist, they just aren’t circulating.

I have no clue. I would gladly cash in my jar if coins if my damn bank would agree to use their coin counter or if the grocery store public machines would reduce their charge

That’s not the point. Every place I’ve been says to have correct change or use debit or credit because of a coin shortage.

I bought a beverage a little while ago and it was $3.38 and I gave her a $5 and she only gave me $1 back. I was like WTF, where’s the rest of my change. She just looked at me, couldn’t tell what she said or if she smiled bc Of mask

You got fricked over. There’s no way a coin shortage had them keep 62 cents.

Banks won't accept coins if they have to count them themselves. And coinstar takes way too much percentage. So I never turn coins in anymore. I have a few hundred dollars in coins just sitting in my house.

Trump banned coins so people couldn't buy stamps to mail in ballots.

There isn't.

And I can prove it.

Just in my house alone we must have 10 one-gallon jars full of coins...

Why didn't you just use your AMEX Black card and not be a filthy poor.
