Rob of Robfinds Treasure says there is. I went to a new bank today and asked if I could order coins, The teller said "Yes, but there is a freeze right now, try again in a week or two". A "freeze"?? I also heard somewhere else that it is not a coin shortage, but a distribution problem. Does any one know what is really going on?

Not sure. My one bank says there is another coin shortage but I can still get boxes
This is the first I have heard of a new shortage. If @JoeyCoins cannot get any from his several banks, then we will know for sure.... Cheers, RickO
No shortages in The Commonwealth. We have coins all over the place. Thanks!

Did Rob at Rob finds treasure give a reason? Did he compare 2020 mintages to other recent mintages? Or is he just guessing because his local bank shut off his CRHing (Which could be due to shortages, distribution issues, costs of acquiring rolls, or just getting tired of people dumping searched coins)?
I got change back from a dollar the other day after I used a bunch of gift cards at Barnes and Noble. That was the second time I have received change since March 2020. One time I bought a birthday card that cost a buck at the Dollar Store. I needed 8 cents to pay the sales tax. The clerk told me to forget it.
No, he did not. It is in his last streamed video.
What commonwealth? There are four states called commonwealth's. I am in the commonwealth of Pa.
Got a message from Bank of America the other day saying the Federal Reserve says there is a shortage of dimes and quarters currently and that large orders can’t be taken at the current time.
Guess folks are still not cashing in their change jars.
I just got 5 rolls of quarters last week from my usual bank without their blinking an eye, and 5 more today from another bank. Maybe it's just because my requests are relatively smaller, but no shortages I can see on my end here...........
This is the second thing I’ve heard via posts here about this Rob finds treasures guy in two days. Never heard anything about him before that. Does he post here?
I don't know, but he should. All the videos and searching that he does might take up too much of his time. He makes excellent coin videos
My bank told me they were notified yesterday. They are very limited on coinage so no more boxes for me until further notice😪 and I was only getting 2 boxes per week
Does he post here?
I always wondered the same thing?
I like his YouTube channel. Entertaining and coin educational.
On the so-called shortage. Literally, 1 hour ago, one of the banks I visit. Just called me to let me know, a box of Quarters are waiting for me with my name on it. Lol
Coin Shortage?

Not a Problem at Chase though.

I cannot find any info on the internet or the federal reserve website at this time.
Ok, I did find this:

It states only dimes and quarters are to be allocated. Banks however, somehow interpret this as all denominations. I have an order in for half dollars for next week. Let's see if I get them.
Yes, there is a shortage. Joey has all of them.

not as much here anymore and should be able to to hook you up
Way to go Joey! You ruined it for everyone else!😂🤣
Lol. I promise to give them back after I look at them!

just put them back into unsearched rolls
Take a break Joey, give us a chance!
If I worked in a bank, I'd get fired within a week..... WHERE'S TOM???.........he's in the vault looking at coins!!!
Check under his car seats.
I ask for a few rolls of nickels and quarters and have gotten all CWRs.
I have also noticed that there has been an influx of 2001D nickels on the east coast, and from different banks. So distribution has definitely been an issue.

Yes
Well I went to my favorite Chase today, it's only a few miles from the Denver Mint...
Apparently one of the few Chases @joeykoins doesn't go to
I asked them if they've been experiencing a coin shortage...and they looked me like I was crazy. Lol!!!
They've known me forever...told them that the Credit Union of Denver is claiming there's a shortage too...my Chase teller friends have literally no idea about it and happily offered anything I wanted
Not only did she grab a few of the shiniest she could find but she told me they had a couple slightly older rolls sitting out of a box in the safe for a long time and offered me those too.
I got some shiny shiny for tonight!!!
You can see the two older rolls are slightly grey and have clearly been experiencing some compression for quite a while.
Coins are Neato!

You guys owe me. I ran @joeykoins butt of the road today!!!
WOW!!!
What in the world would be the best way to clean these up? Whomever gets the job, It'll be a back breaker.

Twice now, when I have visited Walmart, the self check-out machines were credit card only. I asked today what's happening and was told the store can't get the change necessary to stock the machines. With only 2 live cashiers, I saw at least one person set down their purchasables and walk out. It's serious when it costs businesses money......
I think us coin collectors were/are the "canary in the mine" when it come the this shortage fiasco. Is there a larger storm on the horizon? I still haven't received a satisfactory answer to this question/PROBLEM and which hairbrain bureaucrat is going to solve it!! If they're not a part of the solution, they're a part of the problem! Totally unacceptable for this country today!!
I hear Dyson has battery powered vacuums for cents, nickels, dimes, or quarters........... take your pick......
