MILWAUKEE (FOX 6) - Do you have a jar of coins in your house? Maybe you have been saving for a special occasion?
Well, a local bank says they will pay you for what’s inside that jar — plus interest!“It has never happened before, it’s something new, and it’s interesting…I really didn`t expect coin shortage to be something we have to deal with,” said Neil Buchanan of Community State Bank.A literal coin shortage has made it nearly impossible for some local businesses to deal with the hard currency.“Families that would store up coin to go on vacation or something – they`re not going on vacation.
So they`re probably sitting there with their coin,” Buchanan said.But leave it to those who are savvy in business to find a way to make supply catch.
