US Mint Household Limits

Anyone know how the US Mint enforces the household limits? I've seen people on here with 100+ sets when the limit is 5.

Is it possible for one to buy gift cards in one name, and use those gift cards to ship to different addresses / names?

Can multiple people in the same office building order the sets and not be subject to the household limits?

Thanks for the information. The last 2 releases have got me quite curious.

    It is per address. So someone might have a PO Box and then a home address....then enlist the help of friends/family for the rest. I have never done it but it is pretty easy to coordinate.
    It will THANKFULLY be much more difficult to reach 100 now that the limit is 2! image

    So, you're asking for advice on how to game the system like some of the others are doing?

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Yep... people have openly admitted having others order for them right here on the forum... very common... Cheers, RickO

    The key isn't just a different shipping address, but the credit card/debit card you use must also be tied to a different address or the order will get cancelled. It's best to enlist friends....perhaps those that were brought in on a bus to buy the gold Kennedy halfs in the Chicago area last Summer. image

    Enforcement at the U.S. Mint has proven to be difficult, at times.

    Nah!

    They've already spent their $200 on new cardboard boxes and happy meals and are currently "unavailable"...........
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!
