Because of this, I did thought about only ordering the presidents to drive up the demand and give them a bigger trouble to deal with a bigger pile of NA...
I am sure my orders won't make that big of a difference though, so I didn't really carry it out.EDIT: You did refer to the production reduction of the presidents... So I agree that may affect the NA in 2011.

When they are in stock I always order the presidents vs the NA.
I'm sure Sacajawea was a very nice girl. But she's no George Washington.

CoinStar - iTunes
40 dollar coins in, $40 eCert + $10 GC iTunes out. (I was able to do eight Lowe's GC's, maybe multilple iTunes GC's are possible.)

All to the same address. First three Lowe's GC's, then five more. Someone could try two iTunes for starters.

but of course, unless you are collecting one of each for posterity, none of this should matter. We must all stay on focus as to why we are doing this.

The Mint has not explained how they enforce the limit (but it is not all done automatically - there seems to also be some manual intervention which makes for variability in the enforcement of their controls)

And what makes you think Amexfolk, Mintfolk, auditfolk, fraud examinerfolk, losspreventionfolk and the like are not on the board?
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.
