George,

 GP> Monopoly money can be used for purchases, if the seller agrees. (& it's
 GP> not a case of not understanding, of course, as that's fraud)

  They're constantly having to make changes to stay ahead of the
counterfeiters. Never mind those building kitchen cabinets to go
into narrow spaces. 

 GP> Interesting; I learned that unrolled coins, yp to the value of a half
 GP> roll arre legal tender, but over that amount, not, so those who say
 GP> they pilled a disputed traffic ticket in nickels are lying.

  When I worked for Burger King over 40 years ago, in manager training, I
had to work with those rolled coins. With COVID-19, they're encouraging
folks to up their purchase to the next dollar, or use a credit or debit
card, as they're short on coinage.

 GP> If he shows up with $180 worth of loose nickels, it's legally the same
 GP> as not trying to pay the ticket at all.

  Sort of like the guy who got his final paycheck from his job in pennies
(along with a vulgar note).

 GP> If Ui was mad enough & had lots of time I didn't value, I could go in
 GP> with 25 pennies(umm, nope, no pennies in Canada), 20 nickels, 25 dimes,
 GP> 20 quarters, 12 Loonies($1 coins), 25 Twonies($2 coins), dump it on the
 GP> counter & say, "I'd like to make a partial payment please," & after I
 GP> receive the updated statement/receipt, go to back of line & repeat with
 GP> same set of loose, mixed coins! Until I get a "paid in full" receipt.

  Reminds me of the cartoon, where the elderly woman is going to make a
deposit in pennies.

 GP> Q: How can the National Mint be so short on coins?
 GP> A: It makes no cents.

  They are still talking about ending manufacturing of the pennies, and
upping all prices to end in 5 or 0, with tax.

 GP> I went to the rock-wall place but my debit card was declined, so I had
 GP> to pay with the coins in my car’s center console.
 GP> It was my climb-it change.

  Or the woman holding her purse open during a cloudy day, because she
was expecting some change in the weather. 

 GP> My uncle used to be a rare coin dealer...
 GP> Until a group of crooks broke into his shop & beat him 'cent-less'

  Never mind Grandma Dynamite in an episode of The Flintstones.

 GP> The machine at the coin factory just suddenly stopped working, without
 GP> explanation.
 GP> It doesn't make any cents!

  Congress seems to have a lot of that, even though the country is trillions
of dollars in debt.

 GP> Did you hear about the coin shortage?
 GP> Apparently, America is literally out of common cents!
 GP> [is okay we have NONE in Canada any more]

  America can't be far behind.

 GP> I chuckle when I remember that my coins aren't moist.
 GP> It's my dry cents of humor

  If you leave them in your clothing and they get washed, they will be.

 GP> Today my friend threw a coin at me and it went through my eyeglasses
 GP> He said heh you didn't exspec that

  At least it didn't double as a monacle.

 GP> My friend was hit by a car shortly after throwing coins in a wishing
 GP> well I thought “well that’s unfortunate”

  I saw a ham radio cartoon, where the woman was in front of the wishing
well, wanting to be "irrestible to men". She got changed into a top of
the line ham radio rig. 

 GP> A national coin shortage must provide some much needed relief for
 GP> people who don’t like change.

  The only change now seems to be with underwear....because change is
inevitable, except from vending machines.
