Is There Really A Coin Shortage?  Or Just Too Much Cheap Advice…

Forbes–If you’ve headed to a store recently, you may have noticed signs requesting exact change. Some stores are claiming there’s a coin shortage because U.S. Mint closures have affected the coin supply right now and they don’t have enough change on hand for customers.

But does this mean that the U.S. is actually running out of coins?

On June 11, the Federal Reserve acknowledged that the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the “normal circulation patterns for U.S. coin.”

“In the past few months, coin deposits from depository institutions to the Federal Reserve have declined significantly and the U.S. Mint’s production of coin also decreased due to measures put in place to protect its employees,” the Fed wrote in a statement. “The Federal Reserve is working on several fronts to mitigate the effects of low coin inventories.”

Walz asked President Donald Trump to declare a “major disaster” for the state of Minnesota in his request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on July 2. More than 1,500 buildings were damaged by fires, looting and vandalism in the days of unrest that followed Floyd’s May 25 death in Minneapolis police custody, racking up more than $500 million in damages, according to Walz.

The governor’s spokesman, Teddy Tschann, confirmed late Friday that the request for federal aid was denied.

The beleaguered company claims that, unlike last year’s days-long shutoffs, this year any power outages due to dangerous wildfire conditions will be shorter and smaller.
