Any one wondered why 2011 NA still not available to order? I cant even find them in the upcoming releases.
But on the other end what alternatives mint has to get that inventory out unless they make a deal like disney. Banks dont want them, so their options are to find businesses that can give dollar coins as change.
They can always ship directly to Federal reserve, currently most of them end up there anyways.

Direct ship is a pretty important part of the dollar coin program:

no it most certainly did not. Nor would I do it, as it would probably blow the entire operation. but I am sure glad to see that the first poster about it knew it was a joke.
of course, you gotta agree, it WOULD be funny if it WAS done.
(and I have paid my taxes with these things by sending them to the town hall of an out of state piece of property and then ACHing the difference lol)

If this is actually true, it would be the 1st step in killing the golden goose

Especially if they want to get these coins circulating. My one bank likes to see me bring in the coins because they get charged to order them. If they stop the direct ship, I can't imagine any bank is going to request the coins in their currency order if there is a charge for them.

Apparently he works for the Mint, American Express, and Bigcrumbs! To quote John Stossel, GIVE ME A BREAK! You have got to be kidding me, coming on here acting as if you work for the Mint and having nothing to back it up. I think it's safe for everyone on the board that what you are doing is making ASSUMPTIONS. Simple as that.

1% charge for a $140,000 coin shipment? That might be worth it, do they take credit card?
In August 2009, the United States Mint also initiated a Bulk Ship Program, which allows larger quantities of dollar coins to be ordered directly. Presidential Dollars and Native American Dollars can be ordered in $140,000 bulk bags at face value plus a 1% handling charge

There is a very large difference between being very possible and being a fact. I've seen QL_714 post facts as well, but when asked why it was a fact the only thing he had to back it up with was it's a fact because he said so and hundreds of people PM him. I think MM that you are correct, that it's very possible they could make a change down the line due to certain changes. That is an assumption based on observations made. To say something is a fact, like why the Mint is considering changing what they are currently practicing... you would have to have some sort of inside knowledge of what is going on.
Dweick is claiming in his post that they are evaluating how to implement controls on people bypassing the ordering limits due to "Bragging about bypassing those limits on public forums and in seminars." Then goes on to claim that "They are discussing alternative methods of selling the coins, not to the general public, that are less costly and achieve the same result." As if he has sat down in some meeting at the US Mint offices. He also states he knows the "true" reason why the Mint shut down Amex gift cards.
Here is my take on it... A certain someone who likes to give people trouble if they openly ask about how to bypass the Mint's 10 day limit got upset because I posted how to do it after he gave a new member trouble over being in his words "spoon fed." The sticky does not give information on it and IMO it is not very easy for someone new to search the thread to find the answer. It's a case of someone wanting to prove that he knows more than everyone else and being able to say I told you so down the line. He's wanting a lot of attention... something I believe in the past he's accused other members of having the same motive.
What should anyone take from any of this? That the best/easiest way not to get shut down by the Mint is to follow the rules, and that this deal is not going to last forever.

you make some valid points and some invalid ones. But this post of yours is longer/worse than one of mine
the only thing that's cool is that you know how to paste pictures into posts here. I have not figured that one out yet but dunno if I care to.

Recycling
The brown kraft paper dunnage in your orders can be recycled into the corrogated cardboard bin.
This also is a great woodstove fire-starter. Roll two sheets together and store in the boxes.
