I've been wondering, do banks actually give out one dollar coins? I've heard some people say they do, but I've never personally received one from a bank teller. Is it a common practice for banks to distribute one dollar coins, or is it something that varies by institution? And if they do offer them, are there any specific conditions or requirements that need to be met in order to receive one? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic.

    The distribution of coins in the United States does not involve the Federal Reserve Banks or the U.S. Mint directly supplying coins to the general public for daily transactions.

    Rather, the circulation of coins is facilitated by depository institutions, such as banks, savings and loans, credit unions, and thrifts.

    These institutions act as intermediaries, ensuring the smooth 
Flow of coins from the minting process to the hands of consumers.

    The Federal Reserve Banks play a crucial role in managing the coin supply by issuing circulated coins before new coins are produced.
