<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2789180, member: 66&quot;]They get them from the banks and it is a mixture of luck and where they happen to live.&nbsp; Some areas of the country, and cities, are coin sources and some are coin sinks.&nbsp; A coin sink get all the coins they need&nbsp; coming in from the surrounding areas and the banks there pretty much never order coins.&nbsp; A coin source on the other hand constantly have to order more coins because they keep going out and not coming back.&nbsp; (some areas fall kind of in between.)&nbsp; A coin source area tend to deplete the local Fed supplies and so they frequently get shipments of new coins.&nbsp; If you live in those areas you can often get boxes of new coins at the bank.&nbsp; If you live in a coin sink they are constantly sending coins BACK to the Fed, they pretty much never order coins, and so you are very unlikely to get a box of new coins there.&nbsp; The in between areas are pretty much just a matter of random luck.</p><p><br /></p><p>And finally it IS possible to get ballistic bags directly from the mint.&nbsp; Some large dealers actually do that, but it costs more than face value, you have to pick them up yourself and provide your own shipping.&nbsp; (and probably your own forklift for loading your truck.)&nbsp; And there is a deposit for the special pallet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
