I usually bring $20k per deposit 2-3 times a week. I am currently doing well over 100K per month and not ashamed of anything. If you have the credit lines to place orders and a place to dump the coins then go for the max.
Was thinking of writing an article for the Wall Street Journal, but I want a few hundred thousand more in my SGP account first.

I am getting charged $4.95 S&H per order. Is there still a way to get free shipping on the $1 coins?

my last shipment was 4 boxes short. The packing slips were all screwed up and equaled more boxes than I ordered. The weight on the UPS boxes was accurate to the number of coin boxes in the shipment, but not accurate to the number listed on the invoice.
I read other posts about shipments being 1 or 2 boxes short, but has anyone had to deal with 4? the CSR at the mint said that my certificate of non-receipt would go to "headquarters" because the amount was so big. Any advice on getting this taken care of?
Thanks

or is it you have a special deal with the mgr?
so time to get down off your high horse if you have an arrangement worked out!

I actually think doing it slowly increases the bank's cost. I was specifically told by a citibank branch to bring in everything I have because they'd rather not ship it each time.

Does the US Mint have any plans of increasing the circulation of $500 or possibly a $1000 bill?

mrpickles obviously has a special deal with the managers (note the "s") if you have seen his pix of the Range Rover and the boxes stacked up at the bank, as well as the sailing boat of his that he uses it for taking "friends" out for a nice outing on weekends.

mrpickles said he's doing "well over 100k/month", so that could be a huge range. I'd definitely say 240k is "well over 100k". And just because it takes up to 2 weeks (or more) to get your coins, doesn't mean that you can't have millions in outstanding orders. You don't have to wait until one order is shipped/received/deposited/card paid as long as you have the credit line(s) to support it.

On-topic for this thread should be about the process of buying, depositing/dumping of coins, bank issues, ordering/shipping issues, etc.
Attacking of people because of their volume will be disallowed. Discussing your feeling on whether or not you care if this goes away will be disallowed (until after it goes away). Suggestion of illegal activity will be disallowed (including structuring). All of this stuff has been hashed out, and leads to unpleasantness. These posts (or partial posts) will be deleted.

Expressing concerns about structuring is very important regarding this activity and there's no reason why it shouldn't be discussed.

Please don't, as that would definitely be a fast track to shutting down this program. I congratulate on your personal success, but there are many of us just doing $500, $1000, whatever, due to various constraints and reasons, and we need this program to go as long as possible.

One more option for dumping coins: At a Do yesterday, one of that attendees scooped up all our cash and paid the bill with a roll of dollar coins.
