jbuck Moderator United States 193512 Posts	Posted 08/21/2026 10:32 am Quote: 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.

Quote: 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.

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! Quote: 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.

proof71 New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 08/21/2026 12:55 pm They've been saying that we will be a cashless society now for about 20 years. As long as there are hackers, credit card skimmers, etc, cash will always be king. There are still businesses that do not accept cards like antique shops and a busy well known family restaurant near me, probably due to fees and chargebacks. A bank teller recently told me that their coin suppliers, AKA armored car companies, wait til their old stock of coins is depleted before sending out the newer stuff. The more coins get used, the quicker we will see the new ones. So lets go people! Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 193512 Posts	Posted 08/21/2026 1:57 pm Just look at how the kids buy things. There will be a cashless society. We might not live long enough to see it and by then, does it really matter to us?
