Just noticed:
Due to the United States Mint’s quarterly inventory, expedited shipping will not be available for orders placed from January 15 through January 25, 2010. Orders over $300 and orders containing gold or platinum United States Mint collectibles will receive a complimentary upgrade, but may experience a slight delay. Expedited shipping will be available again for orders placed on or after January 26, 2010. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I just noticed this new language on the direct ship site, re: the 2010 NAs. "There is a 20-box cumulative household limit on 2010 Native American $1 Coins." I guess they finally got around to clarifying the policy.

As aviators99 points out, they must take them. The coins are legal tender and you have an outstanding debt. See the FAQ regarding "My bank won't take my coin deposit..."
Yeah, I saw that and thought that it only took them 2 years to figure out that their "limits" didn't have any teeth. I have another question regarding the new "limit", but I won't post it here for everyone to see.

I was just say that the end of the number was 75 cents. There were a few digits in front of it.

Has anybody had part of the order cancelled? I ordered $500 of one pres. and $250 of the other yesterday. Today the $500 had a status: line was cancelled, and $250: backordered.

Why are people experiencing shortages? I don't understand the 75 cents lost. Can someone clarify please.

One new development, and I am probably pretty crazy for even thinking about this, but I recently discovered by accident that one of the vending machines at my place of employment returns dollar bills if I put in a dollar coin and then hit the refund button. I played around for a few minutes and converted ten $1 coins into ten $1 bills.

I deposit coins. I got credit in my account. Two weeks later the bank did an adjustment, saying that upon counting, I was short $xxx.75.
Beyond all of the other questions, the idea that I was short a non-round number is just absurd, or someone tampered with my bags at some point in the process.

I have an account that I used to order collectible coins, and I also have ordered coins without using my account. But I recently discovered these orders have been aggregated into my account. Has this happened to anyone else?

Without getting specific, their limits still don't have any teeth as long as you fly under the radar.
