    When Big Banks take out their coin counting machines because it "saves them money" (Wells Fargo) and a lot of peoples' only option to pay 3%-6%+ to exchange those coins at those for-profit exchange machines, people will hold onto them longer until they research and find a viable way not to get screwed over.

      Yep. In my country one of our banks removed most of their coin counting maschines about a decade ago and the few ones they kept would suddenly keep some of the money. Then that particular bank ran out of coins and had to buy them sorted and packaged, thus paying for the service of sorting and packing aswell as transport on top of the actual coin value.
      The coin counting maschines have since been brought back and the service is also free again.

I am sure you wouldn't be listening to HAI if they didn't include any humour at all.

  • @JoeyThiel
    @JoeyThiel 4 роки тому +5

    If I may add some additional insight and thought to this video as I'm an armored currier. When the fed announced the coin shortage, most banks started holding onto the coin they received and rolled themselves to help overcome the shortage. Which is usually bagged and picked up by us, then subsequently taken to the fed to be rolled and redistributed. Currently though most banks have stopped doing that and are sending their coins to the fed like they normally would. There has been an ease on the "shortage" but inventory is still not what it used to be.

    I think the shortage is due to the insane act of stamping out hundreds of commemorative coins. That makes people collect them. All the different quarters, nickels, pennys must take billions of them out of circulation. Bicentennial quarters are cool. Wheat penny's are still a joy to find. But come on. $800 in fancy coins in a drawer when your hungry and need toilet paper is pretty strange.

    Simple solution: stop accepting cash or make things cost whole dollar amounts, either by not pricing them at x.99 in non-sales tax states or do that and also have the business pay the sales tax.

    Okay but one thing doesn’t make sense to me: hardly anyone goes the store and pays for things using coins. This was true before the pandemic. So the idea that coins were going back and forth and back and forth between businesses and customers doesn’t make sense. The coins have always mostly flowed from businesses to customers, who then hoard them for a long time until they deposit them at the bank or whatever or go to a coinstar. So what really changed?

    I'm longing back the days when you used to just focus on the video's matter. For a while already, you've been trying to be funny, makeing fun of others, denouncing political systems, having a very hard time to find a way to connect the video's subject with advertising, and so on. Do you track your statistics? If you find that you get less likes in relation to views than before, or even a trend for more dislikes than usually, or seeing the curve of un-subscriptions becomming steeper in relation to time - or getting comments likes this - you might want to consider going back to your roots and doing what you can do best (and what you were / are loved for): Producing pure fact-based and very interesting videos without any unnecessary frills.

      And this video didn't even really answer the original question. Ignoring the jokes, I walked away from this video thinking, ok, so if coin production is back to where it used to be, and people aren't using coins very much any more, we should actually have a "glut" of coins, (whatever that actually means), not a shortage. My gut tells me we have a shortage because everyone (particularly retailers) say we have a shortage. This would be a perfect time to abolish the penny, and maybe even the nickel, while people would barely notice.

    Another problem I see is bank are now charging you if you bring in to much rolled coins. My mothers (75 years old) bank for example will charge you $0.30 for each rolled coin past 10 rolls a week. Because of this my mother has many rolled pennies ($85 worth) that she can only turn in $5 a week becouse they would charge her almost the price of the roll ($0.50). This causes her to build up more coin each week.
