New Jefferson Dollar Coin Almost Available

The obverse of the Thomas Jefferson Presidential Circulating $1 DollarDon’t forget to pick up or order your new Thomas Jefferson $1 coins tomorrow! The United States Mint had their official roll-out ceremony today where they handed out circulating versions of the Jefferson Presidential $1 coin. Special collectible proof versions have been available for some time. The new $1 coins offered by the mint come in rolls and bags.

Since these Jefferson coins come straight from the U.S. Mint, although they’re circulated versions just like those being released into the general public tomorrow, they’ve actually never been "circulated". As such, they’re more attractive to coin collectors and coin enthusiasts. You’re going to have to pay more for them, however. A 25-Dollar roll will cost you $35.95. And don’t forget about the shipping and handling charges!

Of course you don’t have to order the new circulating Jefferson $1 coins from the mint. Most banks and financial institutions already have them and you’ll be able to get the new dollar coins tomorrow. Since the coins are brand new, you’ll likely be able to pick some up and they’ll be in the same condition as those being released by the mint through their roll and mint bag program.
