I was going to buy the 2013 silver limited edition set anyway, so I ordered it online and qualified for the current bag offering. I was curious to see if the mint had anything in it that was not advertised like a proof coin (anything) or a coupon or something! so I got a box in the mail yesterday and I as excited because I thought they shipped the silver set early. well I opened it and they shipped the bag seperate which is what I received. the bag is empty am I surprised? no - I didn't think they would do unadvertised business. however, I am surprised that this offering is for, truely, a reusable bag. I would rather get a free gas station cookie then have this flimsy bag that is probably going to rip if I stick anything over 3 lbs in it. Wow HORRIBLE! 1  |

I'm hoping to place an order to the Mint later this year and hope they still have the "free" available when I do. Not sure what I will do with it. Maybe it will be a "limited addition" and become collectable. Wouldn't that be something!!

Was there a label on or inside the bag stating it was "Made In China?"

I hope the bag was made in the U.S. It wouldn't be very PR if made elsewhere.

That's a good question, where was the bag made?

Did you have to pay "Seperate shipping and processing" like all of those "act now and we will double the offer" infomercial deals?
I wonder how much it cost them to ship it all by itself?
Honda does that kind of stuff all the time at work.
They will Fed Ex 2 day a 12 cent washer all by itself because it wasn't in stock at the time they filled the rest of the parts order.

I got mine as well. Nicely printed U.S. Mint logo, but really poor quality material. And no, I didn't have to pay extra for the shipping. I really have no idea what to do with it, to be honest. I mean, do I really want to take it grocery shopping and advertise to a bunch of strangers that I shop at the U.S. Mint?

I will take it, it looks cool. I have been grocery shopping for 40 years, can't ever remember reading what is on somebody's shopping bag  |

If it's sturdy enough you could use it for hauling rolls of coins(boxes) back and forth to the bank. I use cloth reusable grocery bags to pick up my weekly boxes for roll hunting.

Well, the long awaited prize arrived...all folded up. It has a cheezy plastic outer layer and a fabric inner lining. Not as nice as my supermarket bags...and... Quote:

Of course it would HAVE to be made in the USA...I mean it's the freakin US Mint....ummmmm " Made in Vietnam " maybe a pic to follow later after I get all the folds and creases out...it would never grade a 2014 (V) B70 FS so I'll keep it raw |
