That is about the lamest "fact check" I have seen. "We have determined the coin shortage is true cause we talked with a few people who also heard there was a shortage and we saw some signs posted about it, so it must be true".

I still haven't actually run into a situation where change couldn't be made. Asked a bunch of register operators who all said they had plenty of coins but were directed to tell people there was a coin shortage. Maybe in some locations, but not here. Weird. I still think there is something else driving it. Guess I will have to wait and see.
