Don't think anyone on this board knows. They could get the coins from the Mint or through their normal banking channels - or both. Also, look at my original post where I said: Also, the Disney coins may, possibly, be coming from the Fed banks who have all the coins that FTs have deposited in regular banks.
See http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blo...-disney-world/
and in order for that to happen, they would have to be pristine coins from the u.s. mint and not just any old mixed bag of presidential coins and native american coins that have been dirtied up by coin counters and handlers.
because when the banks ship the dollar coins back to the fed, they are not required to separate sacageweas from jacksons, washingtons, and monroes.
those disney customers will only be getting the woman that plants the trees

Had not noticed that Disney specified the NA coins.

Just returned from 1 week in Moorea and 1 week in Bora Bora courtesy of the US Mint. I wish to thank all of the PRODUCTIVE FT'ers that have shared their knowledge that helped me in securing this life long dream trip and enough miles and points to be going to the Maldives in February.
Cheers!
Cheers!

Open a Citibank checking account with at $50K AAdvantage credit card.
Get the regular mastercard on the checking account no points ATM card.
Purchase gift certificates and order coins with the ATM card.
No point earned on purchase of coins.
Miles given by Citibank as a purchase for opening the account.
But whats the point? You get the same miles as if you did not buy the coins.

o it's the little drumdrum that could 
did you always want to be the heroine? trying to save us all from ordering heavy back-breaking boxes of golden-colored coins?
dear drumdrum the people that "abused the program" already got their big rewards and now they'll have plenty of time to do other thangs like playing coin toss, gold digging, and taking free flights with their accumulated reward points.
and we all know your original goal wasn't to "make changes happen" but to recover your lost $20k shipment of coins.
then that somehow transformed into a vendetta against everyone else that was ordering the coins and against the coin supplier us mint.
you seem pretty bitter about losing those $20k coins and are now on a rampage for revenge
i suppose your significant loss of coins is still under investigation and while that case slowly moves along, you are agonizing and hurt and in order to release your pent up emotions, you desire to inflict punishment on those that recommended the coin deal to you.
calling and writing to your congresswoman and the us mint, you anxiously await the little bird that brings you new from afar. Inside your head, the question continuously rings, Where are my 20k coins? Why me? Why me? I want my coins back now!
Maybe you needed the 20k to pay your bills or maybe you're very rich and the $20k was just pocket change.
But in either case you still want those coins!
Your eyes are seething red with anger as you vow, "If I can't have those coins, then no one can! HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
But in the end, have you really accomplished anything? Well, who knows?

You mean posts like this one:Looks like the changes are happening. My Congressional rep sent me this:
On any of the product detail pages from the $1 coin direct ship program ...
The purchase of $1 coins under the Circulating $1 Coin Direct Ship Program is a cash equivalent or cash-like transaction. Ordinarily, such purchases are not eligible for credit card rewards, cash-back, cash rebate, and similar programs. Check with your card issuer for its terms and conditions.
That statement wasn't there yesterday.
Here's a link to the GW product detail page for quick reference:

Just in case you haven't got the memo yourself.............It's already too late for many of us. I'll be relaxing on a beach thinking of that!

Brian, you are putting more time into this than I did getting the coins. I have more to show for my efforts. I think you need a vacation. Like a $20k cruise. With your girlfriends.
