<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1004536, member: 66&quot;]Just what the hockey pucks need.&nbsp; After spending all year experimenting and testing the working out all the bugs, and getting the planchet suppliers&nbsp; all tooled up and the first batches of planchets ordered at the last moment we get legislation to change the diameter, the thickness, the edges and possibly even the design.&nbsp; In other words &quot;It&#039;s October folks, start over again from scratch, but have them before the end of the year.&quot;&nbsp; And why, since the new legislation doesn&#039;t set a specific size, do I see the mint offereint different size varieties in the future.&nbsp; &quot;Now in 2.5, 2.75 and 3 inch versions, collect all three.&nbsp; Get them with or without edge lettering and in both design types.&quot;&nbsp; Potentially 60 different versions each year.&nbsp; No I don&#039;t think it will go that far, but I could see different sizes in different years.&nbsp; Frankly I don&#039;t mind the authorization to make the Proof eagles or the legislation to let the mint test new compositions for coinage.&nbsp; (Although frankly that last legislation is unneeded.&nbsp; The mint can already run such tests and experiments.&nbsp; They would still have to get the Congress to act to actually CHANGE the compositions.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
