Just curious, is the free shipping gone? I tried placing an order for $500 NA coins but couldn't get free shipping. I didn't place the order at the end

Last week when I placed an order it was still free. It shows up initially but at the end of the checkout process the shipping charges is removed.

Thanks. It turned out I was using a separate shipping address and the shipping charge stayed (for whatever reason). If I chose the same shipping address as the billing, the shipping charge is removed at the end. Weird, but also a heads-up for people, too

My 2 local TD Banks don't even bother opening them anymore... the one by my work still gives me funny looks.

Coin Counting Machine
My bank said they could not take the rolls as they did not keep that coin in stock (hello, it is money). So, I got to spend a few minutes in front of the automatic (and free) coin counting machine. Next time, I will open them at home and transport in an old Federal Reserve coin bag.

Wow interesting to see that your banks will take the coins still in their boxes. Mine prefer that I unroll them and bring them back to them in the burlap bags. I've got no problem doing so as it keeps them happy....

Ive Never taken them in their boxes. Also this way no 100 questions where I got them etc
And I try to limit my deposit to $1000 max per branch, so 5 branches = $5000 deposit
I feel bringing in too many caues them a hardship, and this way I dont get too many people ticked off. As others have said they been turned down or put thru the wringer. Im just trying to stay beneath the radar

I try to avoid this, and it is not that much of a trouble on my part, since I have several branches between home and work. There are also several around my clients' locations. Sometimes when I bring the coins into a "new" branch, they are simply amazed and several tellers would gather around to look at them right away.

Nice to have 5 branches nearby! I've got 2 and one doesn't mind the coins, especially if I've helped out and unwrapped them. Even have the nice burlap sacks @ 2K each.... have deposited in excess of 7K with no issues. All through the drive thru as well.

the CC companies allow this? don't they know "government services" is getting coins? or what does it appear as on your bill?
is the only limitation just your max credit limit per month?
has anyone had any problems w/ using this method of getting "free points" with credit cards?

I have also gotten the UPS guy to deliver them directly to the trunk of my car. They call at 8 am saying they have a deliver of x boxes, and between 9 and 9:15 sharp the driver is here. I just open the garage door and pop the trunk with the remote and he drops them in. I love UPS too!
Now if I could only get the Mint to ship directly to my credit union...
