If you have the kind of credit card that gives you points for every dollar spent, this could be a great way to get hundreds of points essentially for free. Go to usmint.gov where you can choose a box of 250 of $1 coins, limit two boxes (500 total) per type of coin selected. These are real US currency; $1 coins can be used like cash. Shipping cost may initially show $5, but shipping should be free on the final checkout page (the page which asks for your credit card number). Final price for 250 coins for $250, and 500 coins for $500. They accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express . Use a card that gives points/rewards. Keep any coins that you want for yourself, and take excess coins to any bank and deposit them into your checking account. You are left with spending $0 when the deal is all done, plus you benefit from the rewards points in your credit card account.
