jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 08/06/2022 3:46 pm I don't think there is a drastic increase of coin roll hunters, or people hoarding copper cents to justify a national "coin shortage". I think it costs more for the banks to get the boxes of change shipped, so they order the bare minimum needed, and reduce the amount they give to coin enthusiasts. There are plenty of coins out there, just laziness and excuses are keeping the coins in the vault. Just my opinion and observations, I have not searched for any concrete evidence to back them up.

I went to McDonald's a week or so back and all they had in the registers were quarters. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19159 Posts	Posted 08/06/2022 5:01 pm Not sure about the laziness assessment. Over the last 10+ months I've had no problem obtaining rolls from three major banks and their many branches out west. Sure, I might not be successful walking out with a handtruck load of boxes weekly, but I do have handfuls of rolls over the same period. Report this Post to the Staff
