Our local stores are now rounding up the coin portion of the total up to the next dollar and keeping the change. For example, one neighbor was at Kroger and he was owed 87 cents. Kroger rounded the 13 cents up to a dollar and refused to give him the 87 cents. They kept his money. Someone else has said the local Wal-mart is doing this as well. The banks and stores are refusing to give out coins.

This is exceedingly strange. There is no reason at all why a virus would result in coin shortages..... unless someone has ulterior motives and wants to push people to electronic transactions.

Right. The stores around here are trying to get people to go cashless and only use debit/credit cards.
As many coins that have been circulated over the years there should be a lot of coins, unless someone is rounding them up and keeping society from getting them.

I don't pay cash these days, but if I did, I would be ok with a store keeping the change for a cause that wasn't their own bottom line. Ace Hardware asked me to round up for a certain children's hospital, and I was fine with it.

I don't have any income, so I definitely cannot afford to donate to anything.
I've been trying to score some quarters to do laundry.
The post office in my town had a sign up and is doing the same thing. I've seen on the news that many businesses can't get change from the bank apparently there is a genuine shortage. From what I gather, people aren't out and shopping and when they do, many prefer credit cards for a contactless transaction.
Just saw a piece on the news that on Wednesday between 9-11A, Chick-Fil-A is offering a voucher for food if you exchange $10 in rolled coins for a $10 bill.
I got my change at the stores I went to over the weekend. . .
