Short Stuff: The Great American Coin Shortage of 2020

This episode dives into the real coin shortage happening in America during the pandemic, exploring why coins have mysteriously disappeared from circulation despite billions of dollars worth still existing in the economy. Josh and Chuck break down how business closures, reduced mint production, and the shift toward contactless payments have created a serious cash flow problem that disproportionately impacts lower-income Americans who rely on physical currency. They'll explain why your spare change actually matters to the economy and what you can do to help get those coins moving again.
