Unlimited free money from the US Mint

• Order $2,500 in $1 coins, free shipping (order 5 different coins in $500 quantity)
• Receive coins, deposit to bank, pay credit card bill
• Get 1% cash back from your credit card

Here are the items, add two each to your cart:

• product 14598
• product 14590
• product 14589
• product 14588
• product 14596

Do this over and over, till you max out your card. I’m not joking. Also, you’ll be building your credit, by making large, on time payments with your credit card.

Thanks to Chris for staying up on their RSS.

This is an update from the free money from the mint blog post. You are still able to collect on this offer:

1. Order $4500 in currency from the Mint, no shipping fees, no other fees
2. Deposit into bank, pay off credit card
3. Collect $45 in cash back from your card, or get a new card if you are an idiot because you don’t get cash back

Now I am attaching the photo that discourages this from their site:

Actually, there is another purpose here. If you can plan your cash needs in advance, this completely alleviates any need for you to use an ATM machine. Depositing checks is done via USPS mail to ING Direct, HSBC or other banks that support it. Withdrawing cash is done via this. Depositing cash is not supported. If you are cash flow positive in life, please consider choosing a profession other than selling drugs as your occupation.

This still works for four of the five products. I have ordered two batches ($4500 total). I am attempting to order more and will let you know if it works.* * This is in contrast to the stated one per household limit
