<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sturmgrenadier, post: 1293512, member: 18711&quot;]I just got off the line with US Mint customer service. The lady was friendly, but difficult to understand (accent-wise). I asked her if my order status being: &#039;your order request is in process&#039; means that I have passed the funds verification stage. She replied to me (verbatim): &#039;your order was just released from a dollar hold. Whenever your order is for more than $300.00, we run a dollar hold.&#039; I asked her why I couldn&#039;t see the charge/authorization on my bank account, and she told me that the actual charge is run just prior to shipping. Paraphrasing now, she told me that my order is going to the next stage. I don&#039;t know if any one else has called and been told something similar. I&#039;m not the sharpest tool, but I&#039;m not sure what she meant by a &#039;dollar hold&#039;. Maybe it is some kind of mini-authorization step. I wasn&#039;t aware that credit cards/check cards allow for such a thing. I thought when the merchant swipes a card/card number, it is either authorized (with a number given) or declined (basically thumbs up or thumbs down). Never heard of a &#039;dollar hold&#039;. Anyway, maybe other posters have called in and can share what they learned about the ordering process[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
