Bulk purchasers of circulating coins receive pick up instructions for arranging carrier appointment, truck inspection, and driver clearance and are contacted to coordinate a pick up appointment date/time. Orders are released after all pre-arrangements are fulfilled, e.g., the electronic funds transfer is received, the shipment is ready and clearances confirmed.
To purchase Native American or American Innovation $1 Coins through the Circulating Bulk Purchase Program, customers (individuals or businesses) must:
- purchase the minimum of one bulk bag, which contains 140,000 coins
- pay for the coins at face value ($140,000) plus a processing fee, which equals 8.5% percent of total order value ($11,900 per bag)
- pay in full and in advance via electronic funds transfer to the United States Mint (instructions are provided after the order is entered and the inventory is confirmed)
- assume all shipping costs and arrange pick up to receive coins at the dock of United States Mint facilities in Philadelphia or Denver for coins manufactured in Philadelphia or Denver, respectively

Authorized Bulk Purchase Program (ABPP):
The Authorized Bulk Purchase Program, which began in 2021, is the newest initiative in the Mint’s wholesale purchasing channel. This program is available by invitation only to members of the Numismatic Bulk Purchase Program (NBPP).
The program offers the following benefits:
- ABPP participants can have their orders shipped up to five days in advance of the United States Mint’s official on-sale date to allow time for receipt and grading in advance of the normal ordering process.
Program requirements and terms:
- Minimum of three years as a member in good standing of the NBPP
- Acceptable average return rate of 2% or less
- Actual (not averaged) revenue of $500,000 or more per year for two years.
- Signed acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Bulk Purchase Programs, which include:

- Commitment to honor all household order limits.
- Restrictions on the use of technology to place orders and monitor inventory.
- Signed embargo agreement to resell products only on or after the Mint’s official on-sale date and time
The program is designed to provide members with a known quantity of designated products. These quantities are set by the Mint using an allocation method that provides an equal portion of the available product to all members, while the remaining allocation is determined by a percentage of offtake as compared to the whole. The current calculation is a 25%–75% split, whereas 25% represents the equal split among program members and 75% represents actual participation and performance in the program. The Mint maintains the right to adjust its allocation model at any time.
The Mint actively monitors these program requirements. Failure to adhere to these requirements will result in penalties up to and including suspension from the program and/or removal from the Mint’s Bulk Purchase Programs.
