Easy solution is to use the self Checkout lane at Lowes and pay with all that loose change you've been hoarding.

Oh no! I can't support Marxist-Mart! What ever shall I do with all these fish, ducks, and deer around here? That boat is looking mighty fine too along with all this water to stop for the night.

Lol yeah, if all this globalist tyranny happens, Americans might as well declare independence again. Why not make a conservative CHAZ in a rural area red state? 🤔

Normalize cashless. Only credit, deny charges for items you don't like.
Next step is to eliminate credit cards and use RFID implants.

If this happens it’ll be great news for bitcoin.

Or Monero. ...Or a new ERC-20 token. If there are any "hacktivists" left, they could make a privacy coin on the Ethereum Blockchain. I am sure it would be "banned", but the Gov. so far doesn't have the best track record of being able to 100% shutting down and control the use of "banned" tech.

Too much of a ponzi scheme for my taste.

SecondProtectsFirst 4 points ago +5 / -1

Nah man, you gotta look into it some more if you think that. That’s fake news. The US dollar is the ponzi scheme. If bitcoin is a ponzi scheme, who is at the top of it?

There is inherent value in a network of verifiable transactions that cannot be controlled by a central government. There is no inherent value in a piece of paper that represents a number in a computer. The US dollar isn’t backed by anything but numbers in a computer. Every time they “print” more the value of your dollar goes down.

On top of that, fractional reserve banking means that when banks give out loans, they don’t even have to have that money on hand. The entire system is phony.

There will only ever be 21 million bitcoin in existence. You can’t just print more after that. What makes bitcoin a scheme but the US dollar is legit? They’re both just numbers in a computer. One has a limit to how high that number can go.

Highly suggest taking a look through some of these educational resources so you can see for yourself: https://www.lopp.net/bitcoin-information.html

I never said out system wasn’t a Ponzi scheme. It is. But to contradict your statement about bitcoin not being controlled by a central government, out system isnt controlled by government either. The issue with bitcoin is that the other party has to recognize the value of it. And with so many crypto currencies out there which one wins? And when the other fail what do you have to show for it. With that being said going from tangible asset backed to federal (it’s not) reserve and promissory. The other issue we all have to accept is that these systems and institutions are so embedded timeline wise as well as size it’s almost impossible to institute change.

Most of the other crypto currencies are shit for so many different reasons. Bitcoin is the original and has the highest price for a reason, partly because a lot of people throughout the world do recognize the value of it.

The coins have slave masters faces on them. They must be destroyed.

The last I read, Jackson was staying on the front, but Tubman and others would be on the back somehow. Not really sure.

But, Just wait, Dems will "discover" she was a God loving, gun totin' Republican and they'll not want it anymore.

Coinstars, at least in my area, were offline for the first few months of the scamdemic.

Not sure if due to contagion fear or deemed non- essential.

Manufactered shortage

20
Pelosi_Halitosis 20 points ago +20 / -0

Well, I do cull every 1982 and prior penny I get, because that's the only remaining US coin in circulation that's worth more than face value. All the later ones, like say a 2012 penny, I refer to as a zinc POS Obomba penny.

14
TheStoneOfSisyphus 14 points ago +14 / -0

copper. I have loads of them. Quarters from 1964 and earlier have silver, too.

11
Pelosi_Halitosis 11 points ago +11 / -0

Yes, but the silver coins are more difficult to find in circulation, however, I've found a few. When I do find them in change, it's usually because i paid cash at an icecream place or other establishment that attracts kids. I think some kids find a load of quarters at relative's and think they're just quarters, so they grab a handful not realizing they're silver. They make a unique noise, so they're easily spotted.

10
TheStoneOfSisyphus 10 points ago +10 / -0

Oh yes, the clang they make is quite different. And the sides are different. I have gotten exactly TWO in all of my time out of change at the store - and this was back about 10 years ago. I get mine from Ebay or online or at gold/silver/coin stores.

9
Pelosi_Halitosis 9 points ago +9 / -0

All my scrap silver coins have come from estate auctions. I have hundreds if not thousands of silver coins from auctions. Hey, when they're giving away 10 Morgan's for $120, it's not difficult to stand there and buy every lot. Lol!

TheStoneOfSisyphus 6 points ago +6 / -0

Wow! I admit I'm jealous, lol.

2
Pelosi_Halitosis 2 points ago +3 / -1

Auctions are hit or miss, so you have to attend many of them. Some days people are paying more than retail for used stuff, other days, they're practically giving stuff away. Obviously, I like the latter. Especially when it's mostly women interested in knickknacks, while all the tools, coins and guy stuff is overlooked. Not every buyer can be at every auction.

ddragon 3 points ago +3 / -0

how do you find good auctions? I've always been interested, but never looked into it.

What year are the silver quarters?

8
Pelosi_Halitosis 8 points ago +8 / -0

1964 and prior, I have all kinds of years, some of my earliest ones are from the mid 1800's.

I remember, after he passed, sorting through coins that my grandfather had coffee cans full of in his closet. Coolest ones I remember were a couple silver dollars from 1796 or 1798. Felt like I was holding history.

2
Pelosi_Halitosis 2 points ago +2 / -0

It is really cool to think about the history, if it could only talk. I got into cast iron a number of years ago, collecting Griswold, Wapak, Erie and others. Amazing that I've found, bought and restored skillets, dutch ovens and other items that were made in the late 1800's and I still cook with them today!

It isn't much but it makes me feel better every time I hoard a copper penny. Today's melt value of a copper penny is $0.0184856 and obviously fluctuates with the cost of copper. Apparently in 1982, they switched to making zinc pennies mid year. I've yet to find a zinc penny from 1982 confirmed by weight. The copper pennies weigh more than zinc pennies. In fact, they make sorting machines that will kick out the lightweight pennies, leaving only copper. I have a friend that was sorting them by the bucketful with one about 6 years ago. No shit, he had about 15 five gallon buckets filled with copper pennies.

coin shortage historically usually means that nation's currency is on the verge of inflation collapse. Perfect time to get a fixed rate mortgage I say.

Cuz they dont' wanna candle cash/coin more than necessary due to the COVID fears, kourtesy of Karen

7
RollWave 7 points ago +7 / -0

lol so stupid.

the article says the shortage is due to places to change coins closed and generally businesses closed means people aren't spending their coins just saving them.

so their answer,.....have the mint produce more coins lol

why not just reopen the businesses and let people spend their existing coins again?

I was mostly cash up until a few months ago because I need to use my card to make it worth it. Will gladly go back to cash if needed.

This sign makes about as much sense as the one posted at Popeyes Chicken: ATTENTION CUSTOMERS. Due to the Tyson plant closure, Red Beans and Rice will not be available.

I cannot find any Tyson plant that does anything but meat and meat-like vegetable substitutes. Never found and red beans nor any rice at any of their facilities.

Intentional incompetence to make people lose faith in the government. Makes it easier to overthrow later.
