Do not believe that the limit is based on billing address. My wife and I are both ordering $1K per 10 days. We utilize different CCs but both have the same billing address.

Deant, do you and your wife have the same shipping address? If so then what are they using for the ten day check?

Rinse and repeat. Your billing address selection would then be unlimited because you would only use it for a day or two at a time.
It is a very good idea to attract Chase or AMEX's attention. Frankly, I have thought about it, but I don't think the bank will let you go with away with an address change request every 10 days or so.

If it's by credit card number,that's easy most of us have alot of those to choose from.

My guess is that their check is based on name plus CC number. My wife and I have not used the same CC numbers for our orders so as to eliminate overlap.

That would be quite interesting if it is the case...

Also, if it is the case, I've been wasting a lot of time/effort with my "system" if I could just place an order with each of my credit cards. haha

I could be getting like 12k/10 days delivered to my house w/o any extra effort!

It's an interesting theory and one that I wills try out in the next few days, but I want to wait until all of the orders that I have currently placed have shipped.

Taking them, bringing them all to a bank, where the bank just sends them back to the mint really doesn't help that cause.
So far I've managed not to outright deposit any, although it's a rather fine line for a couple transactions -- I do use them to pay bills (RV payment, CC payment) due at banks, where the end result probably is the same -- they go off to the Fed for storage.

They also come in very handy when you are dealing with Luddites who don't take credit cards.

How long does it usually take for the charge to show up on your cc? I just placed an order for the Native Americans and Thomas Jeffersons for the first time Monday night on my new SPG Amex card. Got the coins today via UPS. But no sign of the charge on my Amex card yet.

And, in case you haven't noticed, most around here don't care. If you're looking for ethics around here, there's not much to see. You'd best just move on...
