Discount on Cash

4 Oct 2008

In one of the more... interesting things I've done to save a buck, I have recently purchased dollar coins from the US Mint.  They are trying to start this grassroots movement of people using the newly minted presidential dollar coins.  To get them into your hands, they will allow you to pay via credit card to have them shipped (for free!) to your home.  I bought $2,000.00 worth of these on my cash back visa card, netting me a savings of 30 bucks (not to mention the free loan before having to pay it off next month).  You can order them here (until they discontinue the program).  


Ethical dilemma: Do I have to circulate all the coins or can I just return them to a bank and deposit them into my account?
