No change for you!

I went shopping at the Covina Walmart today, the first thing that I noticed was the self checkouts was only taking cards no cash so I strolled over to the cashier. She rung me up for $35.31 and I handed her $40. she asked if I wanted to donate the change to charity, I said no then she said she need 31 cent, I handed her 36 cent she handed me $5, I'm waiting for my nickle, then I realized they weren't giving any coin change and that's why she asked up front if I wanted to do my change to their charity. I proudly told her "I'm donating my nickle to your charity." She sort of scowled at me.

From now on when I go shopping I'm taking a couple of dollars in change.

I took 20 dollars in change to a restaurant. They said they did not need change. My mistake.
So I said how about a third party post dated check drawn on a Chinese bank ?

Well I fully understand I just went through the same thing at a restaurant out here in Vegas instead my total came up to 22.15 and kept all the change which was confusing at 1st. At least they asked you if you wanted to donate they just kept my change😂

Why is the U.S. facing a coin shortage?
As the spreading coronavirus and resulting business closures crippled economic activity in the United States, the circulation of coins dropped off significantly. The U.S. Mint, which manufactures the nation's coin supply, also decreased staffing in response to the pandemic.

As the nation's businesses have reopened, demand for coins has exceeded the available supply.

I had three ammo cans of rolled quarters dimes and nickles, last week I cashed in one can for about $850. I don't think I'm going to cash in the other two. I will use them to have exact coin
change when shopping.

What are pennies made out of now.
I saw a penny that had been run over on the street and it didn't even look like a coin anymore.
Looks like real cheap cooper painted steel.

Cashier at Ralphs did that with 30Cents change, she kept pointing to this tiny sheet of paper on the plastic screen saying that it makes it says right there. If your not giving change get a bold sign at the entrance not 8pt print at checkout.

Ill have to sort pennies and starting carrying zinc pennies for those situations.

Ammo cans are very versatile. The .556 or .223 cans are best for storing rolled coins.
