Seems like the Mint is trying to bring this to the attention of the credit card companies.
Watch out everyone. We don't need no cash advances

Yeah, that started happening about a month or so ago (maybe only a few weeks, but I don't remember for sure) on my AMEX & Chase statements. I'm sure that it's going to really start biting some people (hopefully not me! haha) now that there is no argument about what exactly is being bought.
I'm sure this is one of the measures that the Mint is taking to try and limit people from abusing the program. This is also why you've got to have a whole seperate cart & checkout if you're ordering dollar coins. You can no longer have mixed purchases on the same order.
