That is correct. There have been no actual Food Stamps since about 2002.

My wife tells me people pay with change all the time at her store. Usually only about 4 or 5 bucks worth. People buying more have EBT cards and don’t need to worry about using change, says she.

She needs to file a complaint with the U.S. Attorney for her district alleging a violation of the Coinage Act of 1965 which made all coins and currency of the United States legal tender. The store needs to have its "policy" brought into line with the law.

I rather be behind her than some luddite with a checkbook.

How ironic that the Maryland EBT card is called an “Independence” card.

>> “what is with people?” <<
.
Petty cruelty in some cases.
I do believe that a store has the right to insist that the coins be counted and rolled. That’s not too hard, is it?

Nickles are presently worth $0.12 in metal value, and pennies are worth about $0.02. Old pre ‘82 pennies are worth about $0.10

The easiest way to deal with a lot of loose change is to shop at a store that has some self-check registers and feed the coins in to pay. To only consolidate the coins, scan an item that costs more than you have. Put in all the coins then push “cancel payment” and the money will refund back in a more consolidated form. Then you can cancel the transaction or tell the person watching over things that you don’t have enough money to buy the item. And leave. With your newly consolidated wad of cash.

Go to the bank, get some paper coin rolls...The banks here in Omaha won't take hand rolled coin anymore; in fact, they won't run your coin through their coin counters unless you have an account with them.

Yes but they have to pay people to count and roll the coins and why it has almost always been store policy not to accept more than X dollars in change per customer.If you want to roll it on your own there is no limit.
To: Morgana
What the math equation means:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_identity
for the first part.
Second part is the summation notation. What it means is the sum of 1/x from x = 2 to infinity. This is equal to 1.
lim 1/2x x-> inf = 1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16 = 1
So the check is for 2 cents (-1) (+1). :)

Rolled change is different than loose change.There are no limits on accepting change per rolled.It is the loose stuff they limit accepting.
