Get Coin Moving

I’m sure you have heard the latest COVID pandemic effect, the coin shortage. In fact, we don’t have a coin shortage; we have a coin circulation issue. Did you know there is about $48 billion in coin already in circulation? The problem is the pandemic has distrusted our normal purchasing activities as we stay home more and businesses where coin enters society have been closed or restricted due to social distancing measures. Coins aren’t circulating to our local businesses like usual and instead are sitting unused in cup holders, jars, piggy banks, purse bottoms, and couch cushions. One of the easiest ways you can help solve this circulation problem is to deposit or cash in your extra change at your financial institution. Bank Forward is here to help #getcoinmoving again!
