The United States Mint has eliminated the credit and debit card purchase of
$1 Coins through its Direct Ship Program effective July 22, 2011. Customers
who wish to purchase $1 coins through the Direct Ship Program can still do
so by wire transfer, check, or money order. Customers who wish to purchase
the coins by wire transfer may fax their order to: (202)756-6585. Customers
interested in purchasing by check or money order may do so by writing to:
United States Mint
PO Box 71192
Philadelphia, PA 19176-6192
Please download the order form and follow the instructions provided on the
form. (Order Form).
The Mint has determined that this policy change is prudent due to ongoing
activity by individuals purchasing $1 coins with credit cards, accumulating
frequent flyer miles, and then returning coins to local banks. Local banks,
in turn, returned coins to the Federal Reserve. While not illegal, this
activity was a clear abuse and misuse of the program.
The Mint has undertaken several aggressive internal and external actions to
mitigate this issue, including restricting chronic and repeated use of
credit cards, contacting customers who frequently placed large numbers of
orders to ensure they were using the coins for legitimate business purchases
, and other measures. While these measures eliminated a significant amount
of misuse in the program, we believe some abuse still exists. Eliminating
the credit and debit card purchase of the $1 coin is the next step in our
efforts to root out abuse in this program and ensure it is better targeted
toward fulfilling its intended purpose—which is to get the $1 Coin into
greater circulation.
Thank you for your understanding and your continued support of the $1 coin
program.
