Coin trend fuels nationwide coin shortage says Kansas banker
Kansas bankers at their annual meeting report a coin collecting craze driven by collectors hoarding pennies and rare coins. Frank Borgna of Labette County State Bank notes the fad expanded nationwide, while Ray Baxter of First National Bank of Topeka says his bank has only 100 dollars in pennies left, far below a day's supply. Bankers blame limited Federal Reserve coin shipments and rising interest in rare coins as fueling the surge.
