Hi friends!
There was an approx. 6 week period not long ago where businesses near me put signs by their registers. "WE NEED COINS"...."Please pay by credit if possible/ We are low on coins".
Those seemed to be taken down now.
Why did we have a coin shortage anyway?
I don't see why Covid-19 would make people hold onto their coins and not want to use them.
Anyone have any feedback on this topic?

So, y’all know how much I LUVS my beer...!!!!!!! ❤
But, I’ve cut back on it quite a bit (no doctors orders or anything like that) in the last coupla’ months. As a result, I’m down 15 lbs. and had to go to the next lowest notch on my belt...!!!
Not sure how long this will last though... beer is just sooooo darrrnnnnnnn GOOD...!!!!!

How is your daughter doing? Mine started classes Monday. Most of her classes are all online so in a way she is still homeschooling.

Congrats on the weight loss. A beer in moderation can still be had though! Don’t want you to lose out on delicious stuff!

Thanks! We spent an hour at the MK now we are going to be headed to the tragical soon. It has been a fantastic time. I am ready to snuggle with my pup today though.

Thanks for sharing your trip with us. The pictures were really appreciated.

I would think many pay with plastic even a dollar or two. I've seen it. I think banks and people have the paranoia of dirty contaminated coins so it's easier to say we don't have change

Yeah, I thought that was weird also. All I got was people weren’t out spending money so there were no coins. I really don’t know.

Wow! Good for you! Fifteen pounds is a lot of weight to drop. Hard to believe that beer has so many calories (I don't drink beer). But I certainly eat my share of tasty treats, that have plenty of empty calories.

@ajrwdwgirl , how are you doing today? Are you all tired out from vacation?

 

[Lilofan]

Congratulations. Losing weight is tough.

It's tough even for me but many years ago I went on a mission to get healthy and more strong. When you lose weight, your stomach shrinks and your appetite is less in the long run. I couldn't believe it but my shoe size went from a men's 9 to an 8 1/2?

Fact check: Yes, there's a national coin shortage. Here's why

Some Facebook posts have correctly said the U.S. is experiencing a nationwide coin shortage.
