i went to they site and it says:
 "The immediate bank deposit of $1 coins ordered through this Program does not result in their introduction into circulation and, therefore, does not comply with the intended purpose of the program."
are you breaking a law by doing this or does this run by the honor system?
Dan, do you know?
Call them and ask...

thats interesting...  here they have the coins available right away but you pay shipping:

http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&identifier=8100

Just ordered from this link with free shipping in 1-2 weeks.  I tried yaakov s's link first and those coins had $5 shipping and coins were backordered.
If you don't care why would you comment?

I just tried the link I gave (which isnt mine I just cut and pasted from a post around 60 pages back) and there was free shipping. But as long as you get the coins it doesn't make a difference which link you use.

Does anyone know whether using CITI Amex credit card purchases Coin counts as purchase?

I think Citi counts them as cash advance, regardless if it's Amex or Visa/MC.

Citi has not charged me a cash advance fee for coins over the last few months.

For those of us in Northern CA, Safeway currently has a $10 off next purchase when you buy $100 in Visa gift cards. Pretty simple way to get 4% discount/CB (after activation costs) on some easily "laundered" visa GCs.

From today...

http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2011/07/13/137795995/how-frequent-fliers-exploit-a-government-program-to-get-free-trips

Whoa!  $284 million in $1 coins!!! Anyone care to estimate what that cost the mint in shipping, handling, and CC processing? Must've cost them a small fortune. What a blatant waste of taxpayer dollars (pun).
