Shortage on Aluminum? On Coins?

[Dana7360]

What is going on?

I went to the store and there are these signs.

Now we have shortages of aluminum and coins?

My buddy manages a liquor store and laments the fact that, when commercial customers go to the bank, they can only get two rolls of each denomination of coin. Shawn's store averages about $10K a day in sales.

I've got a three foot tall Tito's vodka bottle that I drop pennies in. I took it to his store the other day and we counted out $35 worth of pennies (the bottle was about half full). If that lasts him through the week he'll be lucky...

it's not an aluminum shortage, it's a manufacturing bottleneck. Can factories are at capacity

Another shortage! Beer, soda makers struggle with aluminum can supply, plan to limit niche drinks

As beer and soda consumption shifts sharply to the home during the COVID-19 pandemic, drinkmakers experience a shortage of aluminum cans.

It sure takes us a lot more time to mass produce. In WW 2 we quickly turned commercial manufacturing plants into military hardware ones. We're talking cans here. Not military hardware. Maybe we should contract out with the Chinese.

What is causing this?

I've lived through shortages before but shortage on aluminum and coins?

That's a new one.

So it's the shutdown from virus that's causing the shortage?

I'm not a big soda drinker but I know a lot of people who are.

This is just sad.

Don't ya just love it when leftists whine that their own actions and policies come full circle and kick them in their own teeth?

My understanding is that, initially, the US Mint was shut down due to the pandemic. There are upwards of 30 million pennies minted every single day (over 1,000 per second). Shut down for a week and that's going to have an impact.

Shut down for two months?

People can be retooled faster than robots. That's one of the problems with mechanization, if you want the robot to do something else you have to buy a new robot.

People are using a lot less cash, and some stores don't even accept it. You would think there would be an overstock of coins.

People are worried and are keeping their change.

Remember recyclable bottles ? 5 cent...If the redneck didnt take them back the roads would be cleaned by_____________Trash guys turned in thousands and thousands of the. All beer bottles and 1 liter state rum bottles are all deposit bottles. Works like a champ. Fuck Aluminium. Gimme glass. OTOH those fine dual citizens would have them flying on a nightly basis

That is what open source intel believes. There have been many other examples of nations using excuses to convert to cashless, but as of right now, no concrete evidence has emerged of such a plan. See the latest news release in the "Stay Informed" Thread.

I heard the coin shortage is based on the fact that the mint is shut down due to covid19.

That's as good an excuse as any. Next, the printing press. . . .

. . . it's damn amazing what they consider. . . "essential workers."

Exact change is no good?
