Description
The U.S. Mint is seeking information from qualified commercial entities to support accelerated distribution of circulating anniversary coins into active commerce nationwide. The objective is to determine whether these entities possess the capability and infrastructure to increase circulation velocity, expand geographic reach, maintain coin integrity, and preserve public trust. Respondents are requested to provide corporate information, distribution capability, operational infrastructure, implementation approach, risk management, and data reporting details. The U.S. Mint is looking for entities that operate high-volume retail transaction networks, manage national or regional coin handling operations, provide armored carrier or cash logistics services, operate coin-operated equipment networks, serve cash-intensive industries, or maintain national vending or point-of-sale networks.
