Have Argentina got light at the end of the tunnel for their coin shortage problem?
After a year of coin shortages in Argentina this is still a problem facing the country. But the Chinese market owners in Argentina may have a way around this by printing up their own money.
The Argentine Chinese-Owned Supermarket Chamber, which is connected to 5,700 of the markets throughout the whole of the country has had the idea of handing out tickets to customers when the change runs out. Chamber is using this as a plan to retain brand loyalty with the company in the country and save the chain money from allowing them to make less trips to illegal coin holders. This comes from the illegal coin holders that are springing up around the country since the shortage came about last year. the illegal coin trade that is going on at the moment is seeing the coin holders charge rates of 15% and going to people’s houses to supply them.
With the state of the current economy it has been not that people dont have the money so much as the dont want to spend it. Saving it rather than spending. The same thing is happening in Argentina -except people having started hording their coins so they dont get caught short, and therefore causing the coin shortage. The government has placed millions of more coins into circultaion to try and solve the problem, but people are starting to horde the coins. The coins are mainly used for the transportation system, which has recently introduced a ticketing system that has costs $57 million to implement to try and keep the coins in circultaion. This is one of the methods that the government have put into place to stop the transportation companies charging a 3% interest rate for the service of coin ‘disposal’.
