I checked what my wife recorded and she recorded a show called "How do they do it?" that was on the other night on the Discovery channel. I haven't watched it, but they talk about how they design and mint a coin. Looks neat. But I just programmed the DVR to record the "Secrets of the Mint" for tomorrow at 5. Thanks for the heads up grizz! __________________ "These are the times that try men's' souls.

I looked at the guide on my cable system and it is on at 5 pm EST. They also list a show at 4 pm that is about the Gold in Fort Knox. They both sound interesting....

Looks like the ANA helped out too. http://www.money.org/AM/Template.cfm...CONTENTID=1409 -DJ __________________ ...it's not so much about what the coins are worth, but rather what they're worth to me.   07-17-2008, 07:59 PM   #11 (permalink) Hin Junior Member   Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: West Virginia, USA Posts: 18 It wasn't a re-run to me.
