Looking to buy 2 roll - 2008 James Monroe
Hello,
I am looking to buy two roll (25) coin of 2008 James Monroe. I try the US Mint website, but it sold out.
Anyone recommend a good place to buy? Also wondering will the US Mint website has it items available later time?
Thanks!
Lee

No, I don't think any AMEX cards do virtual acc't nmbrs. (I think it has something to do with the fact that they're only 15 digits.)
For SPG, just add authorized users. I've done that and it works fine.
I do the VANs with FIA card serices cards -- Fidelity and Schwab cards that give a 1.5 or 2 pct rebate.

Citi, sign in to your account, select tools , select Virtual account number. If you have more than one account , select which account you are using.
Be sure to disable pop up blocker , before starting.

I once entered creative billing address, but the Mint said they could not match the billing address with my card and canceled my order.

Circulating, Not
I often ask the cashier if they will be giving out the coins I just gave them as change. Without excepting, they all say they will not. I try, but no one wants 'em.

Other countries who have $ coins all have a coin that does not weigh so heavy, and has distinctive design, like 2 tones in color or different shapes / sizes that no way anyone would confuse it with the less denomination.
The whole $ coin to replace $ bill program is a flop. The Mint gets stuck with those $ coins that are mandated by law to produce... hence there is the $1 circulating program - but as you said, it aint happening.

I just unloaded 50 today at the farmers' market with various vendors. My guess is, those who got three or four will reuse them as change.

I honestly think it is the design-flaw of The Mint to make the $ coin not welcome by anyone - the coin weigh too much, the coin looks too much like quarter.

Can I pay University Fee using coins?
I have been following this thread for a while but have not ordered any coins myself yet. Reason - I donot know how I will spend the coins. I am afraid it will become more of a headache to spread these coins. A question for gurus - I am studying part time in the evening classes. University charges 2.5% conv fee is I used CC to pay the tuition fee therefore I usually play through echeck. Will university accept the coins instead? Has anyone tried it before? I cannot stop smiling imagining the reaction of the cashier when I will show him the coins

Hello everyone!
I've been on a coin sabbatical since January. Just returned from Thailand and Bali yesterday.... all on points and miles, of course.
I feel like a newbie again. I guess I'll have to read through dozens of posts or risk the wrath of asking something that was covered 25 pages ago. Oh well....
I should just quit now, after going through a few months of coin rehab, but where is Dr. Drew when you need him ????
