<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1482643, member: 11521&quot;]Absolutely NOT! The Mint is very serious about not allowing coins to leave the Mint except through proper channels. And they certainly do not want their mistakes getting out if they can help it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Everyone who enters the Mint (excluding those who take the public tours and do not get down on the floor with the equipment) must submit to a background check and go through a security checkpoint similar to those at airports. Everyone who leaves the Mint must go through an even more thorough security checkpoint. This includes tourists and employees alike. You do NOT want to be caught trying to leave the Mint with a coin, a piece of scrap (e.g., a bowtie) or anything else that may have come from inside the Mint. If you happened to get into the Mint with a coin you must surrender it before leaving. No exceptions. I have toured the floor of the Denver Mint five times and I can tell you that getting out of the Mint is a LOT harder than getting into the Mint (and getting in is pretty difficult).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
