I very rarely use a coin, because I don’t pay cash very often. If I get or find a coin, it goes into the automatic checkout at the supermarket. Can’t think where these are going.

This would be the perfect time to kill the penny, announce that until the. Quarter shortage is resolved, no more pennies will be produced. As far as poor people losing due to rounding, many stores are now rounding tto the dollar. Even at minimum wage or unemployment, one or two cents is meaningless.

I went to TCF Bank in Michigan and asked for 2 new rolls of pennies. They told me they haven’t had any in while and even if they had they could only give me 2 rolls. Where the hell are coins going?

where are all these coins going? I don’t hear any statistics on how many coins are ‘retired from circulation’ like worn-out currency notes, it seems like there is no program for coins like that. so that only leaves millions of cups, piggy banks, etc. holding all these coins – there must be trillions of them throughout america. if even half of them could be brought back to circulation, the mint could stop making coins for a couple decades, perhaps even longer considering how few people use actual coins these days.

1.5 Billion circulation quarters produced this year to date. I honestly don’t think I have handed out to any store a single coin this entire year, maybe two years. People/adults just simply don’t use coins anymore, the US is going cashless, if it isn’t already there.

And don’t get me going on the number of absolutely useless cents being stamped.
