    A Question. I first need to emphasize that I am NOT trying to scare anyone. With that said... Approximately 1:20 pm at a Western NY Carry Out (7/11) I sign on the glass entrance door reads: "Exact Change or CC Only - we have no coins!" While inside, I heard the cashier state to the customer ahead me "The banks are out of coins!" Has anyone heard anything similar in their area?

    A convenience store chain is offering a free beverage or sandwich in exchange for them. A laundromat owner drove 4 hours across state lines to get $8,000 worth. A young girl in Illinois wrote the tooth fairy saying she’ll gladly take dollars as a substitute if it helps. There is a shortage of coins across the U.S., yet another odd side effect of the coronavirus pandemic. Quarters, dimes and nickels aren’t circulating as freely as they usually do because many businesses have been closed and consumers aren’t out spending as much. The Federal Reserve announced in June that the supply...

    “If you have extra coins at home, please use them to make purchases — or deposit them at the bank or exchange them for cash. Help get coins moving!” he tweeted. The United States Mint, a bureau of the Treasury Department, last month announced that the pandemic had significantly decreased the supply of coins in the economy. Retail sales dropped, and more people used credit cards for purchases. The result is that coin circulation has decreased, which hurts businesses, such as laundromats, restaurants, and grocery stores, that serve customers who don’t have credit cards and rely on cash to purchase...

    (CU News) - It’s become a standard at nearly every gas station, in my area, to request exact change for purchases. The coronavirus crisis has apparently sparked this nationwide coin shortage that has left retailers pleading for exact change. It didn’t take too long for the conspiracy theories to begin the rounds in both the virtual and real worlds. I first began hearing comments and receiving emails about the change shortage issue conspiracies several weeks ago. At the time, I just placed them to the side and grinned. Can they really be true? After spending some time, it did not...

    As if the global economic disaster caused by the Chinese Covid-19 viral pandemic was not bad enough, the looming global “coin shortage” and the “unknown pneumonia” (Covid-20?) in Kazakhstan are here. Why exactly do we have a coin shortage? Banks tell us that the Fed are not releasing enough coins. Armstrong Economics wrote that faith in governments has been eroded. It sees governments as promoters of the idea that money is dirty, and the solution is to eliminate coins and paper money even though physical money as a medium of exchange has been in circulation for centuries. The U.S. Treasury...
  • Remember The Psy-Op Called The Great Toilet Paper Shortage? Now We Are Pretending There's A National Coin Shortage So We Go Cashless

    By this point I’m sure you’ve noticed that there has been no let up of any kind in the relentless onslaught by our government and governments around the world to keep us afraid and looking over our shoulders. The toilet paper psy-op sent people into a near catatonic frenzy, hoarding the rolls like it would never be seen again. Meanwhile, the New World Order elites did nothing but chuckle as they counted their overflowing toilet paper supplies in warehouses told to stop delivering it. That’s how psy-ops work, it’s supposed to mess with your head. Welcome to the coin shortage,...
