The food stamps are now on EBT cards just like a debit card this eliminates the purse full of stamps and the repeated purchase of one package of ramen noodles to collect enough change to purchase beer.
Long ago and far away I used to grocery shop with rolled quarters from my laundromat business never had a grocery store complain.

I'm not sure the EBT's are used for groceries here, but they could be.

EBT's in the area are used mostly for crack, and traded for cash, in MOST major cities.

What is fungible now will not be fungible later. Coinage is worth more than than paper due to the intrinsic value of metal.

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