Maybe we can call are local brinks or armored carriers to get a few rolls of these instead of going to the bank or casino's for them ! http://mintnewsblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/united-states-mint-circulating-coin.html:yes: http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/atb/bulkPurchaseProgram-ATBQ.pdf ATB 5oz Update ! http://news.coinupdate.com/previewing-america-the-beautiful-silver-bullion-coins-0505/
With a minimum order of 2000 of the ATB 5oz'ers I have a feeling a lot of the smaller coin shops that are authorized mint dealers/distributors won't be ordering these.

I'm looking at trying to get a yellowstone and grand canyon one myself...I like both designs so of course the real winners out of this set will be the other three since I'm not interested in them
