So, if we're looking for unimportant things about which to discuss or complain-- how about glue?
Lately I've been getting a lot of (little) boxes that haven't been glued at all, and the rolls are outside of the (little) boxes, often broken open with loose coins. So far, the grand total is spot on, btw.
I don't like these "no glue" boxes, but I also dislike the other extreme; those boxes that seem super-glued.

The glue is the reason for the backorder status. The mint knows it's a problem (or PBGS does) and is working in the fix.

oh my! that would be a whole new game of "find the dollar coins" amongst the foam peanuts. the shipping company would have to put the loose coins in the box in such a way to keep them from making noise per the USPS rules. 
i admit that the above sounded much funnier in my head.

Taxes
Well, I've been buying some coins, and really trying to put them into circulation by using them for transactions at places that don't take cards. The rest, I'm depositing at my local community bank (but not immediately), which has not objected, and just accepts the rolls without counting. But then I got to thinking about taxes, and sure enough I see that there are numerous FTs ahead of me. I see the points about property taxes, but for those of us that have to pay estimated taxes quarterly, what experience have others had with their state and the IRS?

Is it Odd for 1 of the (4) 250 box orders (The JAMES MADISON that was supposedly backordered, but shipped anyhow) to be coming FedEx Ground with a estimated delivery date next week (shipped yesterday from INDIANAPOLIS, IN and now sitting in EARTH CITY, MO)?
This is only my 2nd order, but the first were next day and UPS, not FEDEX.

What a DISASTER this new policy has been.
All my orders have been getting canceled even though I have exemptions on the ordering limits.
I'm actually out of coins as of yesterday at the car washes.
The Federal Government cant even process and ship coins out properly and they want to run health care? Sigh.

The US Mint making mistakes on your exemptions is small potatoes compared to other things, from my perspective. I'm sure it can be dealt with.
