I have _never_ received dollar coins from the mint. I have tried 5 times to order a whopping $500. Each order was canceled without explanation. I have tried 3 different credit cards and 4 different presidents. I even called and ordered over the phone once.
I have no desire to haul these things to the bank - I thought they were novel and wanted a few to spend. At this point, no thanks - I'll stick with dollar bills.
