<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1072431, member: 11521&quot;]There are no more &quot;Mint-sewn bags&quot;. The Mint ships all coins for circulation to a contractor who wraps the coins before they are shipped to banks. (An exception is the $250 bags of Native American dollars you can order from the Mint.&quot; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The employees of the contractor (where the coins are wrapped) found most of the errors, especially the coins that were misshapened or oversized (i.e., the coins that would not go through the coin-wrapping machinery). Beginning in 2004 the Mint instructed the contractor to return ALL error coins they find to the Mint for destruction. Employees who are caught keeping error coins are now subject to termination (and possibly arrest).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
