Didn't know that was a possible production route.
The coins were surprising, but it also kinda made sense. Less transactions would have meant less distribution.
A lot of the beverage factories in Korea have switched some production to making ethanol based sanitizers for the cause.
Corn has a lot of uses. In USA it's 40% animal feed, 30% fuel ethanol (fuel / sanitizer), 8% processed foods (starch, oil, and sugars~ soft drinks). 3% food ~ canned corn, corn on the cob, corn meal/flour, alcohol. The rest is exported or saved for seed and zombie attacks or whatever.
Well, TIL.
I read a book about it. Neat stuff.
