I have a question to all the smart people out there. Today I went got lottery tickets and staples for the week. In every store I went there was a sign saying they want/need/will buy your coinage. So I asked the girl at the place where I get my lottery tickets what was up with the coin thing. And since it was shift change there were several girls working there. The manager said head office memo said to get as much change as can be gotten,, with no explanation. One of the other girls, that works at another establishment said the other place was told the same thing.he asked her boss and, according to her, her boss told her when he asked the bank about the coin thing, the teller that is a good friend said, the treasury dept is slowly and quietly recalling all the coinage, but she did know why. Anybody have any ideas? I mean this is to much of a coincidence to get the same story from several different people.
