The New England Mint produces items not authorized by the US mint. There is almost no collector value to them. They make terrible investments. The Obama stuff they are selling won't be of any value 100 years into the future, let alone 5 or 10 years later, same with the rest of the stuff they try to sell you. While I wouldn't classify them exactly as "scam artists" (though, there are others who have ordered from them and not received the products they ordered, but I haven't ordered from them, nor will I, so I can't really comment, but there are other questions about them which say they will simply take your money without giving you the product you ordered) the things they sell have no collector value and are essentially worthless. They use words like "rare" to describe the $2 bill, a mint-condition $2 bill from the 1970s isn't really worth any more than $2 (yes, it might be worth $4 to a serious collector but there are very few of them who would want such a bill) the $2 bills aren't rare, ask your bank for some and they will order some from the Federal Reserve for you. Please, do not waste your money on things that have no value. If you really, really, really want to pay $6 for a half dollar simply because it has Obama's image on it, go right ahead, but it will be worth no more than 50 cents 100 years from now.

If you want to invest in coins, go to your local coin shop and get some old 90% pre-1965 coins, or some brand new Silver Eagles. If silver keeps on going up, they will increase in value with it regardless of collector demand. For example, the silver dimes I bought just about 3 years ago when silver was $15 an ounce for just a bit over $1 each, are now worth over $2 each. On the other hand, private mint stuff like the New England and Franklin Mint items from the 70s and 80s are still sitting on eBay with no one even wanting to buy them for the price that people paid for them back then.

What irritated me when I found this website was the lack of a physical address or postal address. This caused me to go on Google and type in "New England Mint rip off."

Why can't you get a national park two dollar bill from the US mint?

Because they are a regular 2 dollar bill that has been altered or privately enhanced by the New England Mint which is not a U.S. government agency. And in any case the US Mint makes coins, not bills. All bills are produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing which is completely separate from the Mint.
