A Viewer Writes: Where's the Money?

Has anyone noticed that at north Wal-Mart the self checkout counters have no change and you are forced to use a credit card? At the north Wa Wa there is a note on the counter that says if you give them 10.00 dollars in change for cash they will give you a free Shortie sub. I called a local bank and they informed me that there is a national shortage in change caused by the Federal government pulling in all the change supposedly to re-issue new coins. The amount they were allowed to get from the Federal Reserve in Baltimore was nowhere near enough to supply our local stores with the amount of change they required for business. Has anyone else run into this and have they any other information they could add to this issue?

Evidently the mints haven’t been running due to covid...not sure if that’s true or not. There’s also an aluminum can shortage.

US Cash has tested positive for the Corona Virus, you are encouraged to not use it. Many places across the country are Card only.

Use your own plastic and stay safe.

Pushing for cashless society.fight back or we will be doomed..the ability to track everything we buy do hear and sell is here now...

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Ive not experienced it personally but Ive read many articles about experiences through out the Country. Some claim a lack of change, some blame the possibility of covid transmission with the currency exchange, most seem to believe its the push to a cashless society...more control and tracking.

This is the government and big finance trying to force people off of using cash.

10:38 there's a pandemic going on genius. Places aren't taking cash and people aren't using cash because you want to minimize the exchange of items during a pandemic.

Where's the money? In the pockets of the rich of course. After amassing a record breaking amount of debt, do you think we, the working class, should be taxed to pay that back? Tax the rich, it will not affect their standard of living. No more should the burdens of stupid men be placed on the shoulders of the working class.

The people have been dumbed down and can no longer count money. They just throw it in a jar. Even McDonalds doesn't trust their cashiers to count money.

Prophecy coming true. Your card is the beginning of the "mark of the beast". This also is the goal of the UN and "The New World Order".

Only the informed is aware of this. These supposedly highly educated have been so indoctrinated they have been "dumb down" to being ignorant.

Being pushed by George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates, Tech companies and the Billionaires.

Home Goods here floors flowing with merchandise last week now it looks like empty space, same thing with Ross and Marshalls. This is sudden just within the last week, is the stuff being shipped to other stores? I'll be glad to pay in coins that's not a big thing for us women change weights our purses down.

It is called the mark of the beast, AKA technology but you all think it is worth giving up your rights!!! Slaves!!!! How are you going to buy anything when you don't have a credit card??? How are you goign to buy anything if the machine is broken??? I went into one of the local fast food joints and it was all automated for ordering and I went to order a drink with my food and it broke the machine, and I could not order... I had to leave becasue there was no way to order food once the machine was broken!!!! You have to wait for some tech to come in and fix it!!!! God knows how long that would have taken!!!! But hey as long as you have your new Iphones that cost more each release but have no new features or functions!!!! And once everything is digital, you are 100% a slave for the rest of humanity!!!!

I find it funny that I can pull out money and pay for my crap and walk off and pump my gas all before any of you clowns can get your credit card or debt card out and swipe it 5 times or stick it in the chip reader and pay for your crap, but its real convenient isn't it!!!! Lets see how convenient it is when you can't buy shit because of a power outage or someone refuses to give you your money or when the machine is broken... Look what they did to the other countries, they can;t even get 100 bucks out of their bank accounts a month!!!! Coming to america soon, because you slaves beg for it!!!!

"Coin shortage", pushing to cashless society

Anonymous said...

There is no shortage of change unless they make it short!!!! IE to go to a cashless society!!!! China already is doing it, stating Covid-19 for it!!! Saying the money is why the virus spread!!! It is all a way to get you on the cashless doll, where they can track you, hack you and wipe your life out with a hack or stroke of a key but you slaves are begging for it, saying it is convenient!!! How convent is it, when you can't get change? You have to use a card? When the power goes out? When the machine breaks? If china is going cashless and other countries forcing people to only get 100 a month out of their banks for food or bills, then it sure as hell coming to america!!!! But just wait for your bank account or savings get wiped out by a hacker, or when the govt does something to you for not following their agenda!!! You will see then, but per SOP you will wait until it can't be fixed or revered then you will care, and to late as usual!!!!

Comments are interesting today:

"also an aluminum can shortage."
"US Cash has tested positive for the Corona Virus,"
"fight back or we will be doomed"
"more control and tracking"
"Ba! good sheep."
"Mark of the beast coming soon!"
"Omg now we are going to die because of cash"
"July teenth."

The last one made me laugh - indeed.

Yes cause paper can carry covid but plastic can't? That is not why there is a shortage. We are going to a cashless society. One day you will understand what people have been saying on this site. It will be a sad day because it will be to late to fix it.

This is not true. Ask your bank. The federal reserve is not allowing banks to receive change, it is very limited. You guys really should ask people in the know about things. Instagram for your news. Actually ask the bank next time u go.

Well eventually. You will be controlled. I mean come on. How can you not see it? There is not security with everything being online. And how easy is it to wipe out everyone's worth. There is a reason people his their money in the ground after the depression. Wait, we don't teach that history anymore. In fact it probably never happened.

It's all BS. It's the NWO cashless society. We have been moving toward
This for years. Every since the sixties. Especially in education. They have been dumbing down society and getting us ready for this Socialist(Communist) changeover. It is just now that it is so obvious you would have to be blind not to see it.

I agree there would be no coin shortage if the government didn't want there to be a shortage. Something very mysterious is going on in this country. My best advice is to buy gold now while it's fairly reasonable. Gold is the only safe haven when government fails. With 24 trillion of debt, all the money the government collects from taxes will not be enough to even pay the interest on the debt. At that time we are officially bankrupt and money is worthless. I would really like to know other peoples views on this.

So many comments from shallow thinkers with paranoia. Money is a carrier of germs. People think they are so important that Uncle Sam is tracking how many cans of bean soup you buy.😂😂

Not so 10:55 A M.... I've still been using cash in stores I've been in.

I really do not care as long as my EBT card still works! :)

Anonymous said...

Because there were so many less people out buying in stores and so many stores were closed there was less money in circulation. Many people were shopping on line. In a few weeks when the unemployment checks run out, people will be taking their jars of loose change to the bank for cash and coins again will be available. If I had a dollar for every time I heard we were going to be a cashless society in my lifetime, I would be wealthy.

It’s called cleaning your card and wearing gloves or a pen to push the buttons. People need to think. Cash is going away whether we like it or not. You have no way to stop it.

I don't use anything but my cash back credit card. I've done that for over 4 years now. I just don't use change. Does make it difficult when making a transaction that requires cash.
But, cash back credit cards are great. I've gotten about $500.00 cash back in the about 4 years I've charged everything. That's not taxable money back. But you have to pay on time in full every month on the card. So I write one check a month.

Correction: a manufactured pandemic to bring about the increased control that you will then be willing to usher in. Congratulations, you loose.... and now we all will loose. Please take a step away from the regurgitated garbage of the MSM and obtain a different perspective on current events. If you are on this site, then take a look at the articles rather than just spewing false information in the comments section. Perhaps it time to really get “woke.”

There is a Perfect Storm coming people. Too many bad actors and bad politicians are against us. we are in the midst of a pandemic, the most corrupt government in the history of our country, a greater depression than our history as a united states has ever known, and now at the beginning of a civil war, our once great police men and women have been brow beaten to the point that most have or are ready to give up. there will be a tipping point we maybe would have overcome this if they had happened years apart, but to withstand all of these tribulations at one time isn't gonna happen. Be prepared for hard times. we know as eastern shore natives that we will be last on the list for any govt. or state help in time of need. keep your families safe. prepare NOW

The commenters are not yet aware of the pending currency collapse.
The US Dollar is inflating massively right now - more than any fiat currency in history.
It began in September 2019 when the Repo Market stopped trading.

The Fed was creating up to $350 Billion per night in the Repo Market alone, plus the Plunge Protection Team's efforts to support the Dow and COMEX.

Coronavirus is a Psyop to cover for the financial reset.
Get ready.

Yes, they pulled coinage from the market and continue to do so.
It is a brilliant back-door move to end cash transactions.
The US Dollar (and all fiat) will go digital by the end of the year most likely.
That way there can be no "run on banks" and the Central Bank Families can print into oblivion.

Buy supplies NOW while you still can.
The price inflation will be incredible.

Coming soon. Don't be so dumb as to think this is not the NWA and Bill Gates and the ones trying to move us to a cashless society. Don't you believe this bull about cash having covid 19. If it were true don't you think you could get it by germs on your credit card or even more so on the key pads everyone touches to use their card. thing the federal government will send you bio-hazard bags too put your dirty cash in to send to them. They will then open your account and credit it to you. Then they can see everything you buy and sell. Also they can control you and your money and freeze your account or limit what you spend. Yes it's coming sooner than you think. It's the Mark of the Beast just like the Bible predicted. You would have to be blind not to see this happening now.
