In this area, once the initial hype has settled, you won't find a roll of these dollars at any bank. They won't call them out and will not order them even if you offer to pre-pay. Our banks HATE coinage so we will be forced to buy from the mint or organize a group of collectors to purchase, as a group, what is needed from the mint and distribute by mail as needed which will probably drive the cost of each $1 coin to about $2.50 by the time it is done. I can already figure a roll of 25 coins from the mint will be $40 with shipping so the $2.00 to $2.50 cost is pretty accurate.
