<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverSurfer, post: 866425, member: 21603&quot;]I don&#039;t think it is the silver scarcity but the lack of &quot;official&quot; businesses to make the plankets and the man power at the mint to make them.&nbsp; If they wanted, they could hire more people and get more businesses approved to make plankets and mint these coins.&nbsp; However, I read that this would require a 5 year contract minimum.&nbsp; The mint is betting on there not being such a demand in the future and so no need to expand the business.&nbsp; Although this high demand has now been going on for about 3 years now.&nbsp; Had they hired the staff and expanded the &quot;official&quot; businesses that make these plankets 3 years ago, they wouldn&#039;t be advertising shortages......which is just an excuse.</p><p><br /></p><p>I read this in an early edition of Coin World.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
