Actually for my CU, you enter your account number and after depositing the coins, it is applied to your account ^

Yes, I was told that until the Mint get's a handle on the abuse that the program would be suspended. Several new guidelines are being set into place to thwart arbitrage efforts. So my congressman says.
My complaints were well received and I prompt anyone else who has moral qualms about this US Mint scam to voice their concerns to their congressional reps.

Obama should be immediately impeached for this mint fiasco. @:-)
Unless I get 20K Starpoints immediately. @:-)
Back on topic (sorry for the pseudo-political digression), just got an email a couple of hours ago from mint that the 1K in prexy coins I ordered a week or so ago have shipped. Over the top on another bonus card! ^

How's that media campaign coming along? I'm sure many here (self included) would love to check out some of the articles generated.

Sorry if its already been said ... but so can we just keep ordering 2 box orders over and over? (500$ limit)
Or are we limited to only 2 boxes to the same address forever?
-Thanks

A friend of mine went into some Japanese restaurant and paid with 8 of them and they were all "Oh, wow, where'd you get these, look at these, do you have any more?" I told her next time she goes back in there ask them, how many do you want. People like those things, they're novel and interesting, and once you get used to using them, they are better than $1 bills for spending. The argument that "Oh, I don't want to hand over a $20 and get back 19 $1 coins, well that doesn't happen with $1 bills, why would it happen with $1 coins. The most $1 coins you ever need to carry is 4 (2 if we can get the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to do an Uncut $2 Sheet Direct Ship Program).
