Did you call the actual mint, or the customer service number?
What you were told might well be the case, but it contradicts what the product description says. The person you spoke to might have just been giving generic information on the distribution of the coins. Anthough, even that bit of news is an interesting confirmation of something that has been a little vague until now.

The plain wording on the site is that 250,000 coins have been randomly included in the rolls and bags. They didn't add the word ONLY, but they shouldn't need to either. Doesn't say that a portion of the 250k or some of the 250k...
I'll find out if I ever get in. But there are ambiguous ways you could say it. For example, "250,000 of the...were minted. They have been included in the bags and rolls."
Edited to add: It does seem like they are saying they were all included in the bags and rolls. This should be interesting - especially if they aren't. LOL.

It wasn’t well publicized I do not believe. The Privy was unknown to me until last night when I read the product info page. I bet once the word gets out they go quickly.
Started with a 15 min wait time... went up to 19 mins. But got in after just over 3 mins. Longest wait time I've seen for any of this year's releases I've tried for.
Got into the waiting room on the desktop at 10:51. Got into the waiting room at 10:52 on the iPad. Wait time was over an hour on the desktop. iPad was 40 minutes. Same Wi-Fi. Just got my order in for 2 rolls and 2 bags from the iPad. Wait room on the desktop has been flying all over the place. Now it is at 15 minutes. The iPad clocked steadily down with big leaps. Go figure.

The Trump dollars are being distributed through banks. That doesn't mean the privy marks are. The listing suggests they are in the bags and rolls as a "special offer". So, we're not assuming, even though I don't necessarily completely trust the Mint proofreaders.

Totally agree and hope we are correct
I'm also curious about the seeding of them. Since they went to backorder, did they hold coins back to seed them later? Or, did they seed the entire mintage (not just bags and rolls) and just need packaging?
I'm not completely trusting the privy distribution, but I bought some anyway. LOL

After about a 30 minute wait, I got in and purchased the HH limit (2 of each), USM23786XXX, confirmed. At one point, my wait time was over 1 hour but got in sooner.

Which also means, if you were logged in prior.... when it comes time to hopefully order, you'll be logged out and have to re-enter login details!

First SemiQ rolls/bags I'll be shut out of, wait time keeps creeping up

My wait time just jumped from “shortly” to “more than one hour”
Superb collections are built more by omission than by addition.
Bouncing back between 1 hour, 1 minute, to momentarily, back to an hour. Ridiculous.

Just now got two orders of each. Fingers crossed.
Wow, dropped from 57 min wait to signin screen and grabbed a couple rolls, bags on BO
I was interested in the July 4th privy but F this, I'm out.
I was at 6 mins and now at 10 mins.

I wonder how many coins the Russians buyers are buying???

Went to backorder (October 7th) at 12:17ish

Don't give up yet. A friend just ordered after waiting out all the evolving wait times.
The wait time is a joke, mine dropped in half before I ordered. Still 23,000 bags left.

I'm not looking for more competition in the waiting room, but the wait time has been no where near an hour. It bounces around and drops precipitously.
Finally placed my order, now waiting for email confirmation.
Backorder till October 7th:
107,000 rolls still available.
Totally agree and hope we are correct
105,722
13,907
I wonder if they aren't as popular due to the price difference.

maybe the 1 hour waiting room and backorder status is holding things up.
Always possible. The bags went to back-order about 10 minutes ago. Not sure what's left there.
