The ultra wealthy literally have cubic-acres worth of coins in their money bins. Maybe redistribute some of that.

Considering all the fake news on the internet I don't blame you for turning to taped-up signs on liquor store windows for your day to day information needs.

"Hey I need to buy some coin rolls for the till."
Sorry sir, we're short this morning, maybe try after lunch.
*puts up sign stating that the Federal Reserve has been syphoning off coins from circulation for years, never to be replaced.*
"This is it," says the liquor store owner. "It's finally here. They've finally done it, the madmen. They've decided to hoard nickels."

Local News 6 caught up with the owner of the local store and asked for more information on this developing story.
"Well it's clear, ain't it?" Said the man, who declined to be named for the piece. "They've wanted them coins for years, and now they got 'em. I know what they're up to. Takin' them coins. That's fine. Don't think for a minute the citizens of this county aren't ready and willing to defend their coins! How are we gonna break a dollar? You can see it clear as day what's happening here."

the store lied to you. we should do away with coins and he is bravely leading the way by making you pissed off so you wont care if the price is raised 1-5 cents. good for him.

all pennies are worth more melted down then as a penny but its like superman two decimal poo poo nickels arent far off either so we should just one up canada and stop coins all together

There is no coin shortage. Maybe there's going to be marginally less 2020 coins minted, but the circulation of previous year coins will offset any of that and I highly doubt the difference will be noticeable.

Sometimes it's fun to SPEND. Showing a card to a machine doesn't feel like SPENDING. Slamming down coins does.

The one and only time I'm ever bothering with physical bills or coins is with loving vending machines that don't have NFC for who knows what dumb reason. I never touch a coin otherwise!!

The liquor store owner just got tired of going to the bank for the weirdos who still dont want to just use a card and blamed the government so customers don't get pissed off at them. Its an old trick and I fully support them.

Wasn't there a John Oliver about how pennies are stupid and expensive? If so I can only imagine that the US went all in on pennies after that aired.
