How many of you are heading out to pick up Grant today. I hope to get mine. My grandson and I are headed to Gettysburg with his scout troop tomorrow and he thought it would be cool to have added to our collection before we go.

I'll pick up a roll and keep 2 or 3 of the nicer ones and spend the rest.
My bank always gets them but I am not sure if banks get them the day they are released or does it usually take a few days?

I always get one roll of P & D each. I'm still trying to figure out why they're releasing it at Gettysburg, Grant wasn't anywhere near the battle.

Banks can get them before the release but aren't allowed to give them out until the release day. Hopefully my bank can get some, the past few coins have taken a while before their order was filled.

A car wash near my house has change machines that give out dollar coins, and I often go there to get some dollar coins when I can't get to a bank. I put four ones into the machine, three of the dollars were John Q. Adams and one was a Grant. I was amazed that they had them on the day, the car wash operators probably ordered them well in advance.

In my opinion, much more exciting than the Grant Dollar.

But not all banks will order them. My local bank hasn't ordered any since Washington.

The car wash operators probably didn't order anything, they just picked up dollars at the bank. Even though the banks are not allowed to distribute the new dollars before the release date, every time a new one is released there are stories of people getting them early because a bank didn't follow the rules.
