2. Background
The U.S. Mint authorized the production of standard circulating legal tender coins commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States (Semiquincentennial). These coins are intended for general circulation and transactional use.

4. Scope of Interest

Manage national or regional coin handling operations
Provide armored carrier or cash logistics services
Operate coin-operated equipment networks...
