You also need to consider that any dollar coin armored shipments would be combined with other coin shipments so the transportation costs would be reduced.
my bank takes my coins and adds them to whatever else they had intended to send via armored car = one shipment only.
and, your own last paragraph tells me you agree --- since my coins are now being added to an already scheduled armored car shipment, there is no additional charge.
