Message:: [QUOTE="krispy, post: 1152566, member: 19065"]Well since you asked... Firstly, I think this scenario happens to  be off topic for this thread and secondly, that perhaps you've been  writing/reading/participating in too many of the political discussions  that have turned the 'bullion investing' threads into a snooze fest of  distorted and slanted political chatter on CT, which seems to be seeping  into all the other sections of this forum little by little. <a href="http://blog.numismaticnews.net/buzz/2011/03/09/MintWantsSuggestionsOrDoesIt.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://blog.numismaticnews.net/buzz/2011/03/09/MintWantsSuggestionsOrDoesIt.aspx" rel="nofollow">Mint wants suggestions, or does it?</a> by Dave Harper The Buzz blog [3/9/2011] This piece addresses part of the unlikely reality of and inaccurate  aspects of your scenario as you posed it, particularly in the  parenthetical part where it reminds us that "there is an express  prohibition in the request  saying that the Mint “is not soliciting suggestions or  recommendations  on specific metallic coinage materials.”, and the article focuses on the  power of the vending machine industry that your scenario completely  leaves out. But anyway, to stay on topic, have you found any 2011s in circulation yet?[/QUOTE]
