Nine out of ten coins I receive regularly are 2020-2022 mint.
Why did they capture all the pre covid coins?
I typically shuffle through my change to catch buffalos, eagles, or anything that would contain precious metals or value and in the 5-6 years doing it I haven't really found any old coins of value. A few silver nickels but not really worth my time.
So if the point of the capturing all change in circulation was to grab the precious metals remaining in coins, I don't think many were floating around.
Conspiracy bros, why was there a falsified change shortage?
Attempting to get you to use plastic over cash
I assumed something more sinister was afoot.
But if that was part of the digital ID push it makes sense.
Most places that posted "no change" would provide change. I was not once denied for trying to use cash during the "change" shortage.
Neither was I, but most sheeple try to "get ahead of things" and actually just fall in line without a fight. Judas goats are amazing creatures
What's more expensive? Putting paper in printers? Or typing digits in a computer screens??
