I have always wondered how the FRB gets coins to these places. Most often they use armored trucks and tractor trailers. Do they have planes with special compartments?
i am sure they must use plains, but i doubt they would have special 'compartments'. They use special planes
More likely container ships. Container can be trucked to the dock and then just loaded on the ship. And you can carry a heck of a lot heavier load and more economicaly by ship.
How quickly do the coins in Hawaii need replacement? It would seem to me to be a relatively closed circle. Where would they go, after all? Tourists would take home some, but not that many. Notes would wear out quicker I think (sand and salt air will do that), but I can't imagine coin shipments are that large or necessary.
