The presidential coins are to be minted through 2016(?) I believe....Why kill and cook our golden goose so early on in the program?
Surely you can realize that $100,000 per month for only a few more months (assuming the mint catches on to heavy abuse) and the program gets canned....versus say $30,000 per month for the next 6 years is a much better return on points/whatever you may be accruing, right?

Ahhhh, the familiar sour stench of FT greed. For those of you who would prefer moderation, as you can see, you're on the wrong boards. Moderation is obviously a dirty word for many around here.

Every time there's one of these, after the program is really over someone comes out of the woodwork to make everyone seem small-time. I suspect when this is over (which might not be for years), someone will post about moving $20mil.
Looks like a Pres order from Tue won't be here until Mon/Tue. Was hoping it would get here on Fri. Has anyone had a Mon-order Fri-delivery happen? What's the record for shortest turn-around (please include your order time-of-day)?

So, is free shipping still in effect for certain orders with the Mint like a few months ago or is it now $4.95 for any order?

I see your judgement and morality as the sour stench here. Who are you to tell others what is right for them? I dont see anyone telling you that 5k or 10k or 100k a mo is too much or too little. Why push your agenda on someone else? Its better if you just do what you are comfortable with and let others do the same. Along the way we might share mileage or travel ideas but keep your judgements on what too much to yourself and I'll do the same.

There are all kinds of promotional items for the coins available from the mint for the coins including posters, buttons and bookmarks. I gave out the bookmarks at the register all summer to anyone interested since they list all the new coins and the year they will come out. The buttons were pretty large.
