Because he gets them early and can then flip them for silly money to the people on eBay who want them NOW!!
No they are not paid for by US citizens tax money. The US Mint does not get any appropriations from Congress, it is self funding and in fact...
This one varies depending on the ambient temperature, elevation of the sun, and the size and composition of the bucket.

Krispy, I haven't forgotten anything. That is an example of buying sight unseen. They hadn't seen it but they bought it with no option to return...
