If you follow this link, you will be taken to the official federal reserve webpage that clearly says that coins are bought from the mint at face value.
This means that in order for a bank, local, state, federal, credit union, whatever flavor of bank you deal with, to have coins it has to buy coins from the mint at face value.
They can acquire them from their customers, but that dollar of value has been paid to the mint before they let the coins go out the door.
IF you hold cash at home, take it to the bank and get dollar coins for it.
If you want to take a gamble, get nickles, they are already worth more as scrap than their face value.
Pre-1982 pennies, too.

If you get your cash into coins, the local stores will love you because they have to pay a premium to get coins from the banks.
Using coins will save them that delivery charge.
You can always go back to the bank and cash them in for paper, but why would you?
The banks are gonna collapse.
When they do that, coins will hold their value because they are not bank fiat debt checks, they are treasury money.
Even if they don't assume the new dollar value, you have kept a dollar of value from the banksters that have put us into this situation in the first place.
