Banks have been begging customers to break out their piggy banks to pump more coins into circulation.
The finance culture has been discounting the importance of coins for years, even as they have continued to play a role in many aspects of day-to-day life.
These days, instead of being charged fees, you might find a bonus at your local bank. To help boost coin supply, several banks have been waiving fees and going as far as offering extra cash back. “People brought stuff in cans, bags and jars,” said Greg Wall, the bank's chief innovation officer. “People have been sitting on this stuff for a long time and they finally had an opportunity to do something."Certain Wawa locations are offering customers who turn in rolled coins a free soda or sub in addition to the equivalent sum in bills.
