Low-Coin Inventory Notice

The COVID‐19 pandemic has significantly disrupted the supply chain and normal circulation patterns for U.S. coin. On June 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve began limiting coin order quantities to financial institutions due to the constraint. Accordingly, your coin order may have been unfilled or was reduced due to limited inventory.


It is important to note that the low-coin inventory situation impacts only the coin supply and is unrelated to the currency supply. The bank is currently prepared to handle all paper-currency requests during this period of low-coin inventory. We apologize for any inconvenience this may create. Below are some frequently asked questions that will aid in understanding how this will impact you. You may contact your banker with any additional questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What created the low-coin inventory situation?

In the past few months, coin deposits from depository institutions to the Federal Reserve have declined significantly and the U.S. Mint’s production of coin also decreased due to measures put in place to protect its employees. Federal Reserve coin orders from depository institutions have begun to increase as regions reopen, resulting in the Federal Reserve’s coin inventory being reduced to below normal levels. While the U.S. Mint is the issuing authority for coin, the Federal Reserve manages coin inventory and its distribution to depository institutions (including commercial banks, community banks, credit unions and thrifts) through Reserve Bank cash operations and offsite locations across the country operated by Federal Reserve vendors.

How long will the low-coin inventory situation last?

The exact timeframe is unknown. The Federal Reserve is working on several fronts to mitigate the effects of low coin inventories. This includes managing the allocation of existing Fed inventories, working with the Mint, as issuing authority, to minimize coin supply constraints and maximize coin production capacity. The Federal Reserve is confident that the coin inventory issues will resolve once the economy opens more broadly and the coin supply chain returns to normal circulation patterns.

Does the low-coin inventory situation impact currency?

The low-coin inventory situation is created by challenges separate from the paper-currency supply. The Federal Reserve has indicated that the current situation is associated only with the coin supply.

What methods can businesses employ to address the low-coin inventory?

It is recommended that businesses evaluate their coin needs. Where possible, businesses can evaluate their pricing protocols and forms of payment used by their clients. Businesses may also find that adjusting pricing temporarily so that clients are charged in whole dollars or establishing a policy of rounding down to the nearest dollar may eliminate the need for you to dispense coin. Businesses can also encourage debit or credit card payments to limit the need to dispense coin.

Businesses that may be holding excess coin can also return that coin to circulation to help alleviate the low-coin inventory situation.

Where can I find more information on low-coin inventories?

The Federal Reserve has posted information online at https://www.frbservices.org/news/communications/061120-strategic-allocation-of-coin-inventories.html
