WASHINGTON - Today, the United States Mint announced four new numismatic product options for Presidential $1 Coins. The four new options make the coins available to the public at affordable prices in varying quantities.

The new $1 coin products and current prices are as follows:

* Presidential $1 Four-Coin Set -- $9.95
* $1 Coin 100-Coin Bag -- $111.95
* $1 Coin 250-Coin Box -- $275.95
* $1 Coin 500-Coin Box -- $550.95

The Presidential $1 Four-Coin Set contains one each of the coins to be released in 2012. Each of the other products contains unmixed Presidential $1 Coins of each design. Additional information about each of these new products will be released as they become available for sale.

The packaging for these existing numismatic products will not change. For more information on the availability of $1 coins from the United States Mint, please visit http://www.usmint.gov or call 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468). A charge of $4.95 is added to all domestic orders to cover shipping and handling costs. (The $1 Coin 500-Coin Box carries an additional charge of $7.95 because of its weight.)

This lesson on economics brought to you by the US Mint, a monopoly that sells it's most popular products for less than the cost of raw materials every day.
