⁍ The U.S. Mint is actively producing more coins to alleviate the short supply.

⁍ Former President Barack Obama signed the law authorizing federal agents to ‘snatch’ protesters off the streets in Portland, Oregon.

⁍ A video from a 1985 hearing exposes Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden for using the N-word, stating: ‘We already have a n—– mayor, we don’t need any more n—– big shots!

– The AP takes a look at some of the most untrue stories making the rounds on social media this week, including: CLAIM: There’s no coin shortage. The US Mint is producing more coins to address the shortage. The Federal Reserve says the shortage isn’t due to coronavirus, because businesses are closed and sales are down, and the government isn’t trying to turn the US into a cash-less society. But posts on Facebook are suggesting that the shortage is a hoax because it doesn’t make sense for the currency to have ‘disappeared.’ The Federal Reserve says the supply chain is severely disrupted by the virus, and it has asked banks to only order coins they need and to make depositing coins easy for customers. False claim: The White House says a law allowing Trump to send federal agents to snatch protesters off the streets in Portland, Ore., was signed by George W. Bush, not Barack Obama. False claim: A video from a 1985 hearing exposes Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden for using the n-word, stating: “We already have a n—– mayor, we don’t need any more n—– big shots!’ THE FACTS: Social media users are twisting Biden’s words from a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in 1985 for the nomination of William Bradford Reynolds as US deputy attorney general. White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany cited Section 1315 during Tuesday’s press briefing. McEnany claimed that Section 1315 “gives DHS the ability to deputize officers in any department or agency, like ICE, Customs and Border Patrol, and Secret Service.” False claim: A University of Texas School of Law says social media posts are falsely referencing the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 signed by Obama.
