COIN SHORTAGE?

In 2018 the US Mint produced more than 12.5 billion coins for circulation. From 2008-18 more than 123 billion. The average length of time a coin circulates is 30 years. Where did they all go in four months?

Could it also be that the coming inflation from all the money printing has made the metal value more expensive than the coin?

People are hoarding them because they are made of precious medals. Silver, copper, nickel. And the value of the dollar is about to plummet.

Answer is simple. Coins are being manipulated to have a shortage forcing people to use credit card. i.e. Wal-Mart. Now who does Wal-mart/Sam's Club have very close ties to? Communist China. China now has easy access to your credit card information. Now at the end of the month on your credit card statement there is normally a long list of where you made purchases. In among all the charges you might notice a %5 or @3 dollar charge at a store you frequent but you can't quite remember what you or maybe your spouse bought. But that's okay. It must be right and it sure wasn't a large amount. Are you going to try and track this small amount down. I would say most people would just let this go. Now multiply this by a couple million or more credit carts. You have a tremendous amount of money. Now who would do this? Any guesses? It's happening now people. When will people wake up?

It's not a shortage. It's a disruption of coins circulating. One of the reasons is coronavirus and things like car washes and laundromats being closed. Also it is a sign of a good economy. People aren't spending their change. They throw it in a bottle at home.

They evaporated into thin air as part of the NWO one world digital currency we 'have to have' because of the Covid19 Plandemic Crisis.

Manufactured a coin crisis, to have big companies like wal-mart force you to only use credit cards to push for 100% digital currency to you get to be 100% a slave and 100% tracked!!!! China already is or went to digital currency!!!! mark of the beast is technology!!!! and it has been here for years, it is just now getting to the point they can fully track you 100% so now they are doing their last hard push!!!!! While you think all of this might be convenient, how convenient is it when the power goes out or the machine is broken and you can't use or swipe your card??? How will you get money out??? My bank has been for years already teller-less, so when something breaks or goes wrong, who do you go to??? who do you go to when the office is closed??? What happens when it makes an error?? What happens when you get hacked or someone makes an entry error??? I went to taco bell where they are now, digital with kiosks to order, and after I ordered, I went to add a d rink to my meal, and the machine broke, and I couldn't complete my order, so I had to leave and go else where!!!! That is real convenient right? OH and then lets not forget all of the transaction fees that you will get, that will get increased year after year even though it does't cost any more to push a button.... But you will still get those fees!!!!

You people are just to GD stupid... But you will learn, of course the hard away and when it is to late, but you will learn!!! but this time, you can;t come back form it or fix it, or take it away once it is fully here so, you either want to be a salve for live or you don't, but I know you all love being slaves so, you will not do anything, say anything and just let it happen... then when your life is shit because of all of this, you will just complain and complain, and complain... salves nothing... hasn't since time began!!!

Truth is that Common Core stopped teaching kids how to count money. Now, they've grown up and put all their change in a big jar.

Covid 19 got the slaves sick who usually sit shoulder to shoulder, thousands of them, to hand stamp the coins!!! Since covid got them sick they can't stamp coins!!!!

Morons, a robot machine stamps coins, so ask yourself why are the machines not stamping coins?? Did the virus get the robots sick to? This is a manufacture crisis!!! Just like all of those false flag shootings, where are they, all of a sudden crazy people went away?? Decided shooting mass people is not worth it??? Even though the media said we had one every week if not almost every day for months until covid???? now its all gone??? You stupid people deserve all of this bad crap to happen to you!!! DESERVE IT!!!!

When I took a tour off the mint, there was one person that I could see watching all the machines make the money. If we have a coin shortage, it has been created. And now some banks will pay you or you can even get a small sub if you turn in $10.00 worth of coins? Where is it all going? The banks are not aloud to order but so much too. Ask them. Something is wrong and it isn't covid.

It cost more to make them than they are worth. The only reason they still exist is sales tax percentages.

Just came from Wal-Mart in Fruitland to the self check out to purchase some items. I was wondering why this line was shorter than cashier lines. The girl at self check out said all scanners were credit card or Wal-Mart cards. She was nice and did my purchase at the register in self check out and I paid for in cash. She said the upper management said there's a coin shortage. She shook her head and smiled, just doing my job. I think this is bull sh#%t and just keeping track of what people buy and locations. A lot of people don't have credit cards. Wake up America and vote Trump in 2020.

First only credit card or digital money used for all purchases then must have a chip implanted to prove you had the Covid vaccine or you can’t purchase,travel or do anything.Better know how to raise your own food if you refuse.

I sense your frustration that not everyone sees what you see?

If they did, you would be less smart by comparison. Don’t sweat it. Eventually everybody will wake up to the enslavement by the banking families.

Coin shortage is a soft attack on paper currency. It is brilliant actually. The removal of paper / coin US Dollars is the goal of bankers. They get paid a few percent of all credit purchases. Plus they want control over the population. Turn us ON or OFF per their criteria. Take the vaccine (kill shot) get access to US Dollars. So on

Calm down and stop yelling.
It is child-like and you probably don’t want to be identified as a child.

You are correct about the conspiracy to remove cash from circulation. The US Dollar is in free fall vs. physical gold, and the bankers are desperate to prop up the fiat currencies.

Local Banker said...

3:10- I AM a local banker and my bank has repeatedly ordered coin over the past few weeks and only received some today. We at local banks REALLY ARE low on coin. It has been difficult on some of our clients and us local bankers do feel bad for them as we would love to be able to assist them with ALL their banking needs not just some. Being low on coin is NOT FAKE NEWS. As far as why there is a shortage I can't honestly say. I can only speculate just like everyone else, but we truly are short on coin.

Red Pill said...

No coin shortage just an attempt at forcing a cashless society. When you can't get change on your purchase they think you'll accept losing the money or taking cashless credit instead.

google and do some reading on Trump and the federal reserve. Maybe you will find some answers while reading that will explain some of whats been going on.

There is no shortage. Coins are out there just not circulating. One of the reasons is the good economy. People do hoard them when the economy is good. Also coronavirus caused the shut down of public transportation which unless you have the card you have to pay exact change no bills. In NYC it's 2.75 to ride the bus. Another reason is people are wanting to get in and out of stores quickly and not fumbling for exact change when paying. If everyone started paying with exact change for a day or 2 things would start to turn around.

Are you a troll to minimize the abandonment of cash? Try to act like it is no big deal.

The Federal Reserve Note is acceptable for all debts public and private. Period.

Because millenials and snowflakes working in retail don't have the ability to count change

All those that say the coin shortage is due to impending inflation and the crash of the dollar, you are correct. Trillions of dollars have been dumped into the market which will result in massive inflation and a nearly worthless dollar. The dollar will be replaced by digital currency such as Bitcoin. If you have money in the market, you should start thinking about moving some or all of your money into Gold. Things are about to get ugly.
