With Halloween and Thanksgiving still yet to come, the United States Mint is already planning for Christmas with today’s release of two different ornaments — their 2022 United States Mint Holiday Ornament and their 2022 Mighty Minters™ Ornament.

At the center of each is an uncirculated U.S. Mint 2022 American Innovation® $1 Coin for Vermont depicting a young snowboarder.
Both go on sale today beginning at Noon ET. Pricing is $29.95 for the more adult-themed ornament and $27.95 for the kids-in-mind Mighty Minters ornament.
2022 United States Mint Holiday Ornament
The latest U.S. Mint ornament is shaped like a large snowflake from solid brass with an imitation rhodium finish, resulting in some elements displaying a silver sheen. Colorizations of white, blue, and purple add to the detail of the snowflake.
At the center is the Vermont Innovation dollar, designed by Artistic Infusion Program Designer Justin Kunz and sculpted by Medallic Artist Craig Campbell. The uncirculated $1 coin from the Philadelphia Mint depicts a young snowboarder in the air with a mountainous winter skyline behind. Shown above the coin is "UNITED STATES MINT" with "2022" below.
The back of the ornament has the U.S. Treasury Seal with Treasury at the top and United States Mint below. Each ships with a certificate of authenticity and a purple presentation case.
2022 Mighty Minters Ornament
For younger generations, the Mint’s 2022 Mighty Minters Ornament may be a perfect option with its "Sing Songs of Joy" theme. Shown are three of the U.S. Mint’s Mighty Minters characters — Layla, a peahen from West Point, NY; Lina from Philadelphia, PA; and Kendra from Washington, DC. The two kids are holding song books with snow-covered evergreens behind and an adorned streetlamp.
The ornament’s Vermont Innovation dollar is centered with "UNITED STATES MINT" and "2022" printed below. Each is produced from solid brass and finished with the silvery sheen of imitation rhodium.
The back includes the Treasury Seal. It ships in a red presentation case.

Did anyone here get the email that your enrollment for the upcoming 3 roll quarter set has been changed to 1?
when I enrolled a month or so ago there was a message that indicated enrollment was limited to 1 (even though the description indicated a limit of 3). In fact, I almost missed even seeing that message that popped up. I did not try to order more than 1 so I don’t know if you could type in 3, but then have it limit you to 1.
they now have next year’s Bessie Coleman quarter available for subscription. the 3 roll set is already unavailable, but that would be from people who are already subscribed this year. Only 55 of the 2 roll set available for subscription.
So under order history, the mint indicates the order for the quarters was processed 10/23. (Release of quarters isn’t until 10/25.) My credit card payment is due this time of month, so I just checked the statement. The $54 is not included yet for this month’s payment, but the available balance on the card has been reduced by the $54. So it is there, just waiting until the quarters actual release to make it official.
Agreed. I don’t think the mint is doing anything out of the ordinary. If, for example, your credit card was expired, you would get an e-mail saying update your info for payment or you are not going to receive this one. Hopefully they have ‘processed’ your order as well(under order history it should show) on ebay, one coin shop is asking 650 for the 3 roll set (pre-sale) wow. also, presale – one individual is asking 175 + 11 shipping and another individual has 2 rolls(?), one for 122.50 and 1 for 130.50 with 6 or 7 bids (5.30 shipping).… Read more »
Hi Sherril
My mint email said my 3 roll enrollment was reduced to “2” and any duplicate 3 roll subscriptions were reduced to ‘0’.
So is anyone getting more than 1 set?
