The Coin Shortage is OVER

[thomashobbs]

For the last 2-3 months I've noticed it's been markedly easier to get change. Today on three separate occasions I was due 6 pesos in change. Rather than give me 3 two pesos notes I was given a fiver and a one peso coin. That my local chino would rather give up a coin rather than a Mitre is proof in my book.

Anyone else concur?

maybe he didn't have 3 two peso notes

I was handed 8 shiny shiny 50c coins the other day in Coto as change and damn near had a heart attack on the spot.

I have a pocket full of shiny new monedas with a minting date of 2009. Apparently the government has authorized the Casa de Moneda (or some other source) to mint new coins. Hooray!

Agreed. It's much better than it was last year...

it's over in my eyes....was due 5 pesos in change at a bar the other night and they gave me 5 shiny 1 peso coins.

So, If I'm not mistaken this is actually the first problem that has been solved by the CFK administration??
