(Institutions need to have an account with the Federal Reserve to order from the Fed. If you do not have a direct account with the Fed, please use your normal channels for ordering $1 coins.) You should also encourage your local retailers to place their orders early.

Financial institutions that use FedLine Web® and that wish to place the minimum order for a $1,000 box of wrapped coins, or institutions that want mixed or unmixed coins in $2,000 bags, should contact their local Federal Reserve Office to place a special order.

 

 

The John Adams $1 Coins are legal tender and can be used for commerce and collecting. All Presidential $1 Coins are designed to work in coin-operated machines that accept dollar coins, including parking meters and vending machines. Modeled after the United States Mint's successful 50 State Quarters® Program, the Presidential $1 Coin Program will feature systematically rotating designs of former United States Presidents.

"To help spread the word about the exciting Presidential $1 Coin Program, the United States Mint has been offering a variety of great informational promotional items..."

 

As well as the totally unplanned sprinkling of a few "unintentional errors" like coins with blank edge lettering - totaly unintentional we swear...

Which banks do you guys usually go for getting the (mixed/unmixed) rolls? For example, do banks like WAMU have them?

 

Also, do you need to have an account in the bank (i.e if I just walked up the bank with a check of $1000 and try to get 25 rolls, would they give me?)

 

Thanks

[camarasa-migration]

I'll give you 25 rolls for $1000 :-)

Hi, keeron

 

As each presidential dollar coin is minted by the US Mint it will issue them first as unmixed rolls. Later they will offered as mixed rolls. I would suggest you go into your local bank branch and speak to the person that orders these items I'm sure they can help you.

 

By the way I think you meant 40 rolls for $1000.00, right?
