Tax office took the coins, don't see a ton of people posting about the same problem, so I wouldn't fret over it. Carsonheim's experience just shows that it may be difficult to do this and other members might want to take note.

People besides lawyers read and understand legal matters.
How are you doing with distributing your coins?

I love how the conversation can never seem to stay on the ordering of coins but always veers off on tangents. The same topics over and over, only a change of venue - either hypothetical or first hand related experience.

Given the banter on the coin act, I found this to be pretty interesting.

THe local town newsletter showed up in my mail last night and on the front page is a bit on this years property taxes., They make it very clear that this year they will NOT be accepting cash for any tax payments - only checks/bank drafts/money orders.

Some municpalities will require either cash or certified funds by used for delinquent taxes on properties about to go into foreclosure. If I was one of those people I would prefer to pay cash seeing that most banks charge for a certified check and I also wouldn't want my local bank seeing a check made out to the delinquent tax collection department.

Order "Suspended" then Disappeared
Here's a first: three days ago I places an $1000 order for coins. Rather than immediately authorizing my card as is usually the case, the order immediately said "suspended" and I was not sent a confirmation email.
Based on some past posts in this thread, I figured that the mint's systems were just backlogged and that my order would be processed and authorized later. Now, the order doesn't even appear any longer in my list of orders. Very strange.

Order placed on 12/2 went to "in process", we will see how long it will take them to ship it.

anyone out there with exemptions having successful shipments/deliveries? I got one that has been in limbo for 4 weeks now. Please PM me if you have any clues as to what the mint is doing with these larger orders other than slow meticulous processing...
