<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 793915, member: 15929&quot;]At Christmas I purchased $200 in gift certificates using $1 coins at a local Walgreens. I fel confident that, although I did my part, the coins I spent are now comfortably resting in either some bank vault waiting to go back to the Federal Reserve ro that they are already back at the Federal Reserve.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Direct Ship program is a mis-guided venture put on by the US Mint that only benefits coin collectors.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>People actually like thge small dollar coins and the ONLY reason these do not circulate is that Merchants, both big and small, refuse to give them out as change for a $5, $10, or $20 purchase.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Merchants NEVER order these in place of paper dollars. If they did, then the coins would circulate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
