The Coronavirus Is Causing A Cash And Coin Shortage In The United States
The Coronavirus Is Causing A Cash And Coin Shortage In The United States
By Matthew Gault
A lack of circulation is causing stores all over the country to run out of coins and cash
Banks, laundromats, grocery stores, and retail stores across the country are telling customers that, if they’re paying in cash, they need to bring exact change. All over, ATMs are empty. Last week, a small paper sign taped to the door of a Philadelphia Rite Aid warned customers they needed exact change if they paid in cash.
“Dear Customer: Due to a Nationwide shortage of coins and small bills, we would appreciate exact change if possible. We will exchange your change for larger denomination bills,” the sign read.
A worker at the store told Motherboard in a phone call that the store has recently had trouble getting its coin orders filled by the local bank. Usually, the store orders about $800 in coins, but two weeks ago the bank couldn’t fill the order and last week it could only give Rite Aid half. For now, the worker said the store has enough coins and small bills and customers don’t seem to be too concerned.
“I hope it don’t last,” they said. “At first, with everything else going on, a lot of people did stop using cash and were more with credit and debit. So in a way that helped us.”
On the surface, a cash shortage during a pandemic seems counter-intuitive. People are staying home more and spending less. Just because the money isn’t moving around doesn’t mean there should be less of it.
The truth is more complicated, and the federal government is doing its best to say it's on top of the crisis, while local businesses and national chains alike are telling customers to prepare for the worst. Broadly speaking, hard currency, and coins in particular, are a vector for disease and coins offer bacteria and viruses a smoother ride than cash.
Scientists have speculated that the virus that causes COVID-19 can exist on cash, but scientists aren’t sure how dangerous it is. Epidemiologists recommend washing your hands after handling cash or coins just to be safe. In China, banks sterilize and sometimes destroy currency to control the spread of disease.
According to the U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, cash is in short supply precisely because it isn’t moving around.

The Currency Reset Is Accelerating And Gold Knows It
Taylor Kenny: 9-11-2026
The currency reset may not happen in one dramatic moment. It could already be happening right in front of us.
Gold is surging—but what if the real story isn’t gold at all? The most important question may not be “How high can gold go?” It may be: What will the dollar be worth when it gets there?
Economic systems undergo natural cycles, but historical patterns reveal a consistent trajectory regarding unbacked paper money.

Tishwash: Why hasn't an oil and gas law been enacted? A former minister reveals the reasons.
Former MP and Minister Zuhair al-Jalabi revealed on Thursday the reasons why political parties have not moved forward with enacting the oil and gas law, despite nearly two decades having passed since attempts to pass this crucial legislation.
Al-Jalabi told Al-Maalouma, "The issue of annexing land from Nineveh Governorate to the Kurdistan Region is practically over, especially since the administrative boundaries of the governorates are defined within the Ministry of Planning and cannot be changed except by a decision from the Council of Representatives through a vote on a new administrative map of the governorates."
The Dinar Must Be Changed! We Won't Remove Zeros, But The Current Currency Will Not Last
2026-09-09 |964 Following banking warnings that money hoarded in homes and outside banks is disrupting the liquidity cycle and weakening the banking system, an idea is emerging within the Central Bank and among members of the parliamentary finance committee to change the currency and launch a new series, instead of removing zeros, in a process aimed at withdrawing counterfeit, worn-out, and stolen currency, and returning part of the funds to the banking system, through a mechanism being discussed to link the exchange of large sums to opening accounts and proving the sources of funds.

The New Financial System Explained Simply
Miles Harris: 9-9-2026
The global financial system can often seem like an impenetrable maze of jargon, complex mathematical models, and abstract concepts. However, understanding the core driving forces of our economy is essential for navigating the changing economic landscape.
To demystify these complex dynamics, financial analysts frequently turn to elegant metaphors. One of the most effective analogies compares the relationship between collateral, credit, and the economy to a man walking his dog on a leash. This simple yet profound visualization sheds light on how our monetary system functions, where the vulnerabilities lie, and how the architecture of global finance is rapidly evolving.

OIL BREAKS $100: ENERGY SHOCK PUSHES INFLATION, BOND YIELDS AND GLOBAL FINANCE TOWARD A NEW PRESSURE POINT
Renewed U.S.-Iran attacks on shipping have pushed Brent crude above $100 a barrel while rising bond yields add another layer of pressure to an already strained global financial system.
OVERVIEW
Oil has moved back above the psychologically important $100-per-barrel level, as renewed military attacks involving the United States and Iran threaten to further disrupt energy supplies moving through the Middle East. Brent crude remained above $100 on Thursday after reaching levels not seen since July.
The renewed energy shock is arriving at a particularly sensitive time for global financial markets. Higher oil prices can feed into transportation, manufacturing, food and consumer prices, potentially creating another wave of inflationary pressure just as central banks are trying to determine their next moves on interest rates.

The Dollar Just Crossed The Line It Crossed In 1973. There's No Turning Back Now
Unfolded Finance: 9-9-2026
On March 1st, 1973, the Deutsche Bundesbank absorbed $2.7 billion in the first hour of trading — more than it had received in any full day in the history of the Bretton Woods system.
Karl Klasen, President of the Bundesbank, authorized the trading desk to stop buying at eleven in the morning. Every major European exchange closed its currency markets for the day.
The fixed exchange rate system that had governed international finance for twenty-seven years ended not because anyone decided to end it, but because the rate of dollar inflow exceeded the system's capacity to absorb it.
