Dockwalliper Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 You can now order rolls of president dollar coins directly from the mint at face value and the mint pays for regular shipping. http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/store...6&langId=-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 But I can go to one of my banks, and get instant gratification and pay just the 25¢ gas to get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Im always hearing "My bank won't order them". My local bank dosen't order them and the branch that does is about 2 miles from home, 4 miles round trip, and my van gets about 17 mpg city driving, gas is $4.179 a gal., so it costs me 98 cent it make the trip. Unless Im passing by for some other reason. Save your gas money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tane Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Buy a bicycle... ...or buy this "what ever it is in English": You could modify it a bit and attach wheels to it if you live somewhere with no snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatcat Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I'd do it to get the D mint but it doesn't say which mint mark you will get. Luckily my bank does get them. I get extra rolls and spend them like normal to get them in circulation. Not that it does much good. :/ Fatcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henare Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 a good deal if you use a credit card which gives you miles/points/... which have any value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
