 1- you dont need to worry at all, simply since The Mint wont be shipping it ifit was all on 1 order, guess you havent read theeh thread , theres a 4 box max order = $1000 and usually The Mint wont work it down to that amount but will CX the whole order

 2- anything over $250 gets overnighted FedEx

 3- its been slow at the banks since The Mint put the $1000 limit into place a while back. If you arent a good customer having tp status with them, I wouldnt bring $2000 in all at once more like $500 along with some ca$h or checks to mix it up. If you have top status then $1000 with ca$h and/or other checks should be OK . Of cause it depends on the Bank and Branch and if alot of others have been bring them in as well

 I once had a 5000 dollar order shipped USPS and the mailman just left it on my porch (w/o signature) on Yom Tov (first day!)!

Meh.  I had a 25K order left on my porch

I asked a sheila, to get a goy to bring it in (when I told the rabbi that I received a package worth $5000 he was pretty surprised, but didn't ask any questions)

That's about 475 lbs. He must have been blessing you for ordering so many bricks

You better believe it!
And he would've been happy had I stopped there.  I did 10 times that easy.

With all the talk of thousands of coins being left at doorsteps, maybe this thread should be moved to a "safer place"

Sorry if i'm asking something old, but can a bank refuse to take the US Mint coins? It is legal tender.. ?

Some banks will only take a limited amount each day (I think Apple bank's max is $750), or they will charge a fee for depositing coins.

Does it mean anything if my mint purchase made with a gift card shows "Your order request is on hold. "?  I ordered it Thursday (today is Wednesday).  This is my first mint purchase.

So it turns out that they held my order since I had a different shipping and billing address.  They mailed me a form to fill out to verify that I really authorized the purchase and really wanted to ship it somewhere else.  I filled it out and mailed it back, and got my coins yesterday (3 weeks after placing the order).  I guess next time I'll be shipping to the billing address, but at least we know it works this way.

ive done that many times and never had a problem. maybe b/c i had an account and signed in

[bem684]

I also have an account and was signed in.  I can only guess it is because it was my first mint purchase ever.
