I wonder if there are so many people like me, who handle most transactions electronically, that we are closing in on the end of circulating coinage.
That is part of my problem. I have no change to search. I have only been able too look through my son's tips recently.

Quote:
But even if that were the case, that doesn't explain the absence of billions of coins reportedly minted.
Indeed.

Quote:
It's weird. Have most of them just been stockpiled due to a lack of demand?
Mintage is driven by Fed demand, which is driven by the demand of their member banks. Maybe what has been minted is from the Mint's anticipation of Fed orders and the bulk of that is still sitting in vaults waiting to be ordered.

When I'm in line somewhere most of the people in front of me pay with plastic or cell phone app even for small purchases
Guilty.

I don't know if banks specify what coins they want or if they just order rolls and take what they get.
They specify the denomination. They get shipped whatever the carrier has on-hand. Could be fresh, could be returns. I assume it is LIFO distribution.

It will be a cashless society soon (If it is not considered one already).
I am de facto cashless. I have less than five dollars in my wallet left from my last ATM withdrawal which was ...{checks spreadsheet}... nearly three years ago! Tempus Fugit!

I recently made a purchase and they could not make the proper change because there were not enough nickels or dimes.
I have not seen that yet, but I imagine it is going to become more common.
