Instead of usps.com, try pasting the so-called USPS tracking number that they give you into the DHL.com tracking screen, and you should get a hit there.
That's what I did, and it worked.
DHL delivers the package from its origin to your local post office, and the USPS takes over from there.

My tracking number from the July 4 shipment doesn't work on the DHL site. I get an error message.

Got mine as well. Guess I'll start putting a couple in my pocket each morning and try not to come home with them. Wonder what kind of looks I'll get if I give one to a homeless person?

I used one on an SF Muni bus yesterday and it didn't register immediately when I dropped it in the coin slot. The driver had to pull some lever on the back side for it to come up as $1. Are they interchangeable with other $1 coins of the past? I thought they were.

Same here. I got mine yesterday. They will be used for tipping. Also I am headed for Vegas in 2 weeks. Do the dollar slots take them?

Well, my status changed from "backordered" with a sliding ship date to "in stock and reserved". Still no charge on my CC, and I don't know how long it takes to actually change status to "ship" and get to me. Ha ha, it'll probably be delivered the day after I go out of town on vacation!

Maybe in the US people will start throwing these at strippers like people do with loonies here.
I don't think this program is good for strippers at all.
