<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 535303, member: 4626"]Yep, but only dollars (at the monemt at least... there have been rumors they were thinking about doing this for the Lincoln cents as well). It's a program they started recently with the hopes that it would encourage more widespread circulation of dollar coins. The idea was that private institutions that couldn't order directly from the Federal Reserve (or even banks that were unwilling to order 1000 dollars worth at a time) could order them in smaller lots and get them circulating more widely. I imagine they had vending machine companies in mind too. Private indivduals can avial themselves of this option as well. They are circulation grade (though not yet circulated); the Mint does not consider these to be numismatic products, thus no premium. Not even a shipping charge in fact; just pay face value, and you can get most of the recent dollar coins 250 at a time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
