“By shredding the coins and redeeming them, recyclers are getting rid of damaged coins and therefore helping protect the integrity [of US coinage],” ISRI explains. “Shredding is energy efficient, and better for worker safety and productivity because people aren’t picking through the coins.”
Melting old coins into new ones saves energy, reduces mining for precious metals, and saves taxpayer money. Recycling and reclaiming the valuable commodities are “integral for environmental sustainability and circularity,” which, in turn, were key elements of President Biden’s environmental and climate agenda, from ISRI comments.
FTS!! They are at it again, that is, f*cking with industry ‘cuz reasons. It is becoming readily apparent that any recycling program is nothing more than a joke on the public. Companies are not allowed to make a profit because the state decrees it! It is as if they didn’t want recycling to work, except to control us. FTS!!
