The same thing happenend in Argentina a few years ago. Not enough coins were coined, and since the bus used a machine that only took coins, thye were in high demand (there was even a point where you could sell coins for up to 120% of their nominal worth). It was obnoxiously common at teh time for drugstores to give you candy instead of change in coins, simply because they didn't have enough of them.
