From what the Mint said in the email, sounds like they'll cancel.

Dear Mint,
I ordered $250 twice an month. I never deposited them, but put them into circulation as per the intent of the program. I used them to buy drinks from vending machines, to buy lunch at work and to give the kids when they wanted a few dollars.
The paltry 500 miles I received was just enough motivation to participate in your program.
I don't do checks and I am not wasting my time going to get a money order just to have pocket change.

Since you're posting in a thread with some of the said "chronic abusers" of this program, as it was intended - you have them to thank for eventually ruining the program for those of us who did have altruistic intentions.
Do you really see the US Mint as the enemy here? Sheeeesh.

Dear mint,
You can thank me for explaining to 1000s of people that the coins are real money. We gave them out as change at a farmers market and most everyone thought it was some kind of market money.

I just started this U.S. Mint buying last month......i am leaving my one and only order left that I purchased online on July 15, 2011 and waiting for processing to complete.
Since it says it started July 20,2011, does this mean my order won't be cancelled? I have not received the order yet nor have I had any authorization charge on credit card

The idea wasn't to buy the coins to lug them straight back to the bank again.
