Shortage of coins in circulation due to virus

If anything, There should be a shortage of paper , with the length of the receipt you get when buying with cash or credit/debit. It’s rediculous !

That’s their problem. In my 58 years I’ve not had that happen, ever. I only use cash. :cool:

I have 13 pounds of coins in just one plastic peanut bottle, out of 6 others with a mix quarters dimes and nickels. Did you have just a zip lock or real pounds to hand into them at the cashier with a total at checkup? I don't mean to sound sporty. I'd really like to know because if I took just one 13 pound container of pennies and had big hassles...that would bite! If I have been wrong all this time by being shy at WalMarts checkouts with 13lb bottles of coins? I will feel embarrassed. I'd heard way to many reports that businesses didn't want the manpower required for such large coin payments.

Anybody here used large amounts of coins at say, a Walmart? Ten pounds say, for example?

I plan to simply go into my local Walmart and ask, BEFORE. I haul in even 13 pounds from my 87pounds I have.

If you did it at customer service where it didn't slow down the cashier at a check out line I doubt it would be a problem. You might also sort out the coins by denomination and mark the total on zip lock bags , Like $40.00 in quarters , $25.50 in dimes , $25.00 in pennies to make counting it out easier.

I understand. Your Walmart should have a Coinstar? I’d cash in there with that amount of coin. Not sure but I just checked the one here in my town and it’s in service. Yeah the fee is a bit steep, but supposedly you can get an Amazon gift voucher that covers fee.
 
Will be interesting to see what the plan is for old people, people without phones, homeless, etc. What are they going to do when everything goes cashless.
Every transaction recorded, taxed, and controlled. Won't it be wonderful :laughing:

No Amazon GF at mine. I don't care if my WM has a working CoinStar. I just ain't turning in possibly maybe $2K in clad and get stung for over $200. That's just me, today.

Not sure about those people, but rest of us won’t know any difference, will we. ;)
