The US Mint placed an order limit of one coin per household on the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin. The Mint uses order limits "to ensure the broadest and most fair product access."

The results of the survey indicate that out of the 460 respondents who placed orders, 101 ordered two or more. While the limit does prevent individuals from placing large bulk orders, it does not prevent most people from ordering two or three coins if they are so inclined.

The US Mint intends to re-evaluate the order limit each week, to potentially raise the limit. As an unfortunate circumstance, the price of the coins may be much higher by the time ordering limits are raised. Because the US Mint adjusts the prices of gold coins weekly, the 2009 UHR has already had its price increased by $100. If the price of gold remains at current levels or moves higher, later orders might be at a substantially higher price.
