Why do U.S. coins seem to be in short supply?

The small apartment building I live in is set up this way. I don't really mind, but I wish they would find a way to accept cards (credit and/or reloadable) rather than only coins because as it stands right now, I have to go to the bank and get $50 worth of "laundry tokens" (quarters) every few months, since I don't spend enough cash day-to-day to naturally collect enough change for the laundry.

My apartment building recently installed payrange on top of the existing quarter machines.

Only downside is the prices went up a quarter. It is convenient though.

I just did this 2 weeks ago at a chase in SF. Usually I get $50 but I was restricted to only $20. Didn't really this shortage was the reason

I complained when they would only give me twenty last week in Chicago since I always got fifty before and was told this was the reason
