Dollar coin shortage ?

This isn’t exactly relevant to the shortage topic, but I was turned away from my local Post Office this past week because they refused to accept the dollar coins I was paying with (which were the only form of payment I had with me). The clerk, who also claimed she was the local supervisor, accused me of trying to pay with arcade tokens. I protested for a few minutes and even used my phone to pull up the official US Mint government website where I bought the coins, but she was not having it. Eventually I left because I felt bad for the folks in line behind me, and my package went out a day late. I filled out a written complaint on the USPS website including the US Mint link, and received a fairly generic reply from a regional employee. I guess I can’t fault her too much, given the coin says “Video Game System” on it 🤷‍♂️



Note: the reverse is actually rotated 45 degrees in this photo…in reality the line in the middle is vertical (simulating the old computer pong game), not horizontal

Next time, go in with $2 bills and see how that goes over!
