Not sure if this a political topic.

Change the hard part of a transaction.

Change is needed to make a transaction with cash to the penny

While this perceived nuisance is actual currency and legal tender. But now a shortage of coins exist.

Maybe an answer is a round up feature allowing the change to go to profit margins within necessary workers in convenience stores .

As well as large box and retail food change.

This could indeed offset the actual losses being absorbed for pep. And needed shielding from this virus. Should establishments be allowed to round up to the next dollar if paying with cash?

It is political..............the Democrats are hording all the change to make President Trump look bad,,,,they will release them after the election ...I hear...

As example a donut and coffee for morning nutritional needs costs 3.12. Given 4 dollars and accepting the jar coins. Or should retail if not using a credit chip debit system be allowed to make the transaction to the next piece of paper.

Risks many mining industries the us mint and a great many corporations are dependent on making material to press coins.... Without this market much of that industry will be idled workers and shareholders without purpose or jobs. 

Has it come to a point that this is irrelevant and indeed we become at least not a hard currency but a paper transaction. 

It is political..............the REPUBLICANS are hording all the change so they can blame the Democrats are trying to make President Trump look bad,,,,they will release them after the election ...I hear...

I believe that this should be a consumer demand market. If a store offers change or does not offer change that consumers should dictate the market not the government. 

If you want the coins you can create a store or shop at one that allows change if this is not a priority than that would be a choice for a buyer.

But this is my opinion where special interests in mining industry demand all coins due must be presented to engage in retail....

And yes mining industry for nickel copper and zinc depend on laws that require stores to give change... These mining industries survive because those metals are more prevalent than the precious metals in the same ore. 

You can go through 80 percent nickel to find 3 percent titanium in a titanium minding industry 70 percent copper to find 20 percent silver 4 percent golf and rest in much more precious substance and hence the case. If I was to mine for tungsten or pallidium or platinum the operation could exist because of the penny market demand... Or one would become too expensive and because the other would be  near worthless....

Seminole Casino doesn't not give change back when cashing a slot ticket at a machine. If you want the change, you have to wait in line at a cashier teller.

Ok there must be a loop hole a Seminole nation is not directed by federal law or that it is allowed in the establishment but you can't use a machine but a hassle at the cage. 

Their are laws being exposed because of lack of change and unto which a retail establishments must close if they cannot give the correct currency or round down. Retail margins are at times left to a penny. If you make one a million transactions show a profit. If you lose one a million transactions show at best a charity...

Retail confidence is less than 5 min transaction time it takes to grab a donut a coffee pay the cashier and go back to your car I stood at the cage for 20 minutes at the rainmaker in foxwoods window dealing with 50 patrons with 20 slips from the 30 machines they encounter a pc it seemed to have a whole 6 bucks at dunk in around the corner to buy a coffee to head home with.....

That I guess was back in the good old days when Obama was president and a bus was availible to take someone from portland maine to foxwoods through VIP charters 

We gave the bus driver 40 bucks when we entered foxwoods wd had an all you can eat buffet coupon and 20 for free slot play. Now there is no way to Connecticut from Maine without quarantine.

If I wrnt to need York and crossed over to Connecticut I must quaratine. If I go through massachusseyes again I must quarantine.... It's just fuckin nutz at this point I have to stay 14 days in Connecticut and a covid test just to legally see the golden one... Grrrrr....

And change has always been a spreader of disease.... Never put a coin in your mouth you never know where it's been was what I was taught 40 years ago....

And I don't give ANY of it back to the casino.  I will accumulate 5 or 6 "change" tickets and turn them in together in a few weeks.  My worst fault by far is over-tipping.  Yesterday I was told by the cocktail waitress "her tray was all taken, she had no extra drinks on her tray".  I said, "I beg to differ", as i took the lone draft beer off her tray and threw her a green $25 chip.  "And make sure you bring me another on your next trip".  Supply and Demand.  I was thirsty and Demanded that cold beer.

I tell the person that is giving me poor service that I don't 'mercy' tip. My service gets much better and the server gets a generous tip.
