Starting in December merchants throughout the world will not have to accept mutilated money as legal tender.
I went to put this quarter in a coin slot and it wouldn’t accept it. Thinking it was a malfunction I tried it again, and again it was returned to me. So, I looked closer and realized it was grossly mutilated by someone harvesting silver from quarters.
Someone decided they could legally mutilate this quarter for silver and get away with it. This is the kind of criminality that exists in the USA now. There is no respect for anything.
So, in realizing the monetary policy should protect the integrity of the instrument of money Secretary Yellin has instituted changes in policy to end this form of criminality regarding USA currency.
This quarter still has value but it will be upto me to take it back to the bank for an exchange for one that still has integrity that a coin slot recognizes.
I thank Secretary Yellin for paying attention to details that others have ignored.
