goldnugget Valued Member United States 372 Posts	Posted 05/21/2011 8:56 pm I like to get the Direct Shipment of Dollar Rolls. $25.00 in coins are not that heavy. I spend about $50.00 or more every week on gas and 2 rolls are gone. I busted a roll of Dollar coins at Home Depot for a $ 15.00 purchase the other day . The Dollar coins are always nice for tips.

SilverFossil64 Valued Member United States 183 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 11:35 am They would need $2 and $5 coins as well if they want coins to be able to back out paper...and I agree with other posters that they should be smaller. Also, the direct ship coins typically can be bought by credit card, even rewards credit card or those "0% APR for 1 year" type of things, which basically give you free cash back when buying money for face value or an interest free loan...

jimtaxguy Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 12:35 pm If my purpose was to collect dollar coins, couldnt I just buy the 250 deal from the mint, keep one roll and cash the others in? are they mint quality? Report this Post to the Staff
gmaster456 Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 12:43 pm You technically COULD do that but it goes against the mints intended purpose of the program. The coins offered through the program are meant to be spent not collected. The worst thing you could do is buy a box, keep a roll and deposit them. That just makes the problem worse and the stockpile of dollar coins even larger. Report this Post to the Staff
christian_cyclist Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 12:52 pm The mint probably doesn't care too much if you hoard a roll but they just don't want you to deposit the opened rolls at the bank. You should spend the rolls. That's my challenge. Could I learn to spend money one dollar coin at a time? I'm so used to using my debit card! -- Boris Report this Post to the Staff
jimtaxguy Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 12:52 pm yes I see that now, I would do that. I wish I had started this in September, I have used ones like water for grandkids' lunch money. I had to go to bank for a pack of 50 ones just to keep up. Are thry new quality ?

gmaster456 Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 5:37 pm Yup. The coins in the direct ship program are all in uncirculated condition. I personally don't like it as it makes the coins harder to spend . I wish they sold a box of mixed/circulated coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Jdgarst0720 Valued Member United States 259 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 6:10 pm I just did the program for the first time and am happy with it. I sold one roll to another CCF member for face and will cash the rest in for cash at the bank. I am happy with it, and will consider it again. Report this Post to the Staff
