Who is lying? The Mint's website states
The immediate bank deposit of $1 Coins ordered through this Program does not result in their introduction into circulation and, therefore, does not comply with the intended purpose of the Program. 1. I wait a few days before taking them to a bank, so it's not immediate, and 2. Many people are paying off their cards with these, not making deposits at banks, which is also not "against the intended purpose of the Program."
