By Golly, we are almost done with July 2010.
All the quoted links are stuff in 2009 that have been mentioned / discussed many times over on this thread as they came out, not to mention that those articles were at least a full year late on this topic.
And you claim you have "monitored" this and other threads for over a year.... first, you insulted everyone by your initial posts, then you followed with this "new findings" as if they are some news...
please, jschner, you are beating a dead horse - the more you post, the more ignorant side of you have come out.

But the fact that it's possible in life to lose sight of real values is definitely one of the messages of Up in the Air. And that message is delivered by the film in a highly exaggerated, FF context.
I recommend you watch it if you haven't already. It's really good, almost won an Academy Award for George Clooney in fact, and I suspect any FTer will enjoy it. But unlike real FTers, the Clooney character never goes home (doesn't even have one in fact), always travels, and his entire life literally revolves around points, flyer status, etc.
It's not realistic of course - but a good metaphor for how we can get too caught up in something, anything.
But, and the reason I mentioned this film in the previous off topic post, is that folks who do this stuff are perceived as being very, very smart.

If your using a coin counting machine just throw in some spare change to avoid exact number deposits. In other words, instead of of $1,000 make it $1,000.27.
The tellers will usually remark about "Wow, that's alot of change." I usually shrug my shoulders and reply, "Yes, it is." I've never felt the need yo give a further explanation.
Cheers!

Despite that, I didn't think HoKo, who stated that he was new, asked an unreasonable question - particularly for a thread with 9K+ posts. I did my best to answer him, which is more than I can say for you.
I'm sure you know better than I do. So why don't you post an on topic, clear answer to his question (and mine)?

But with all that being said I have been doing the US Mint coins for about 1 month now and I haven't been able to figure out how to get around the current $1000 every 10 days limit. Many people in the most recent posts have pointed out how they were able to circumvent the current limit, is this done by using different billing addresses, different credit cards, different shipping addresses, different names, or some combination of the above?

Its obvious that Jschner refuses to read any post to get a sense of the history or evolution of this, citing 9k+ posts, he seems to want others to justify to him why he should do it. He refuses to give up and still insults either our intelligence or life values. He is also muddying up the true information that has evolved in this thread over time by posting outdated information that is already covered in the thread.
We should ignore him from now on and let him find his own values.
Unless of course he post things that are totally egregious.

I'm sure jschner will be back to explain that he made that mistake on purpose, so as to come down to Happy's level of prose.

Hey guys, I've been monitoring this thread for a while and I've read the sticky FAQ (I'll be careful not to claim I've been doing so for a year though haha) I'm relatively new to the whole FF community, I only discovered this about 3 months ago, but I think I've been making up for lost time pretty effectively (United MP 50K offer, personal and biz SPG for 60K, and personal and biz chase checking for 50K) and I've tried to do my homework so I wouldn't drive anyone crazy posting basic questions like "what is churning?"
But with all that being said I have been doing the US Mint coins for about 1 month now and I haven't been able to figure out how to get around the current $1000 every 10 days limit. Many people in the most recent posts have pointed out how they were able to circumvent the current limit, is this done by using different billing addresses, different credit cards, different shipping addresses, different names, or some combination of the above?
I know that a lot of times people don't necessarily want to share their exact tactics but any guidance would be much appreciated.

backorders
First post on this topic, but I check it daily and think I have read all 9,000 + posts (wow).
Quick question, notwithstanding the backorder dates (or lack thereof) listed on the mint's website (currently only the 2001 NAs are on backorder) are certain coins shipping faster than others? I've had Jacksons and the 2001 NAs shipped after others ordered on the same day (even though they had the same backorder date or no backorder date at the time of order).

After having 4 boxes of one coin canceled months ago (for no reason), I've been ordering 2 boxes of 2 different coins at a time. Are people generally ordering 4 boxes of one coin? If so, are people mixing it up or is there a preference (based on speed) of any particular coin?
