National Shortage of Coins?!

Sure, we purge and audit those machines on a schedule any way - but we usually do it one at a time, not all 12 at once. We can’t just throw all the money in a bucket and say, oh, we’ll get around to it someday. After all that money is collected it has to be counted. That’s about 5k-6k for each machine with several hundred of it in loose coin. That’s what took all the time - on top of my already 8 hour day of routine duties.

Your self-checkout machines have about five thousand dollars in paper money in them? How often do they get emptied? That seems like a lot to accumulate over the course of a day or even a week.
