Make Money With the US Mint
June 17, 2008
The US Mint has begun circulating the new John Quincy Adams dollar coins. The coins are being sold at face value and are shipped for free.
There are a few ways to make a few bucks here. One way is that you can use a credit card with a zero percent APR for purchases to buy the coins. Then payoff the balance when the balance transfer is due. So you would have the coins in your possesion and have not had to pay for them yet and any interest you have earned is a bonus. Or you could use a rewards credit card to purchase the coins to get the reward specific to your card.
The $1 coins, wrapped in rolls of 25, are available in quantities of $250 (1 box) or $500 (2 boxes). Each order is limited to $500, but there is no where that says you can’t place multiple orders. Your credit card rewards or interest deferral can add up if you were to place many orders. Just remember you are gonna have tons of $1 coins. But hey, it is still real money.










I’m not sure why on earth they want to encourage the circulation of $1 coins. Nobody likes coins anymore, espcially not $1 ones. Maybe for collecting purposes but not for actual use.
Good tip tho, making rewards and cash back by trading money for money.
