Who remembers the event the Mint created allowing purchasers to buy the golden dollar and place the expense on their credit card? Free shipping and no added expenses sweetened the deal.
Many wise and savvy buyers purchased them by the tens of thousands-gaining points on their credit cards (many offering free flight miles) and/cash back.
They would then simply deposit the coins back into their accounts with their banks.
The Mint had to shut down this promotion pretty dang fast!
The above rolls remind me of this.
I have three or four of the 2000 Mint rolls... Purchased them, put them in the safe, and they have been there ever since. Will open them one day....Then spend them probably. Who knows, could be a stray 'Cheerios' dollar in there. Cheers, RickO

I did not buy them by the tens of thousands but I did partake in that no-brainer deal.
At least I had the decency to search the rolls and discretely run them through the coin machines at the bank. Some knuckleheads were just handing the sealed product boxes to the tellers at the bank.

I didn’t do the full monty but it did maximize ease of CRH.
