Tooth Fairy 2 6 183/22/2021
A laundromat owner drove 4 hours across state lines to get 8,000 worth.
![]() As the economy recovers and businesses reopen, the coin supply is expected to normalize. Community State Bank, a regional bank chain in Wisconsin, even offered a 5 bonus for every 100 worth of coins that people brought in. ![]() And 89 take quarters as some form of payment, with cards, loyalty programs or mobile payments as an alternative, according to the trade group. But after the Fed began rationing distributions of coins, his bank said it might not be able to provide any. He put up signs in stores asking customers to bring in their own coins and adjusted his change machines to only accept smaller bills to limit outflow. He even drove more than 4 hours to Omaha to buy 8,000 on quarters from another laundry operator. Stephanie Sabin of Portland, Oregon has a washing machine at her apartment complex that only takes quarters. In July, her neighborhood bank was closed for in-person business. The next five locations she tried were either closed or unable to give her quarters. Shes been able to get her laundry done with quarters her family had on hand or that she bought from her boss. You can no longer request rolls of quarters at grocery stores or even get change back if you pay with cash at a food drive-thru. But people are finding themselves in need of change for other situations. I had no idea or even crossed my mind that there could be a coin shortage. She has also used a stack of dimes or doubles up two days payments with a dollar bill instead. The coins, which are still being washed and counted, will go towards operating costs. Her 10-year old daughter woke up with a loose tooth recently and worried the tooth fairy wouldnt be able to pay because of the shortage. You usually leave me dollar coins, but until this situation is resolved, I would like cash for my teeth. ![]()
