<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Juan Blanco, post: 1647512, member: 41665&quot;]Not sure I understand you.&nbsp; As the HuffingtonPost accurately reported &quot;The SpongeBob coins were the brainchild of a Peregrine unit&nbsp; called PFG&nbsp; Precious Metals Inc and an Auckland, New&nbsp; Zealand-based minting firm,&nbsp; which began manufacturing the&nbsp; novelty items for the Peregrine unit last&nbsp; year to sell to&nbsp; customers. PFG Precious Metals also sold gold and&nbsp; platinum&nbsp; coins.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>PFG Precious Metals was an Illinois corporation. The &quot;New Zealand coin&quot; product went straight to their Cedar Falls, Iowa HQ for sale to their (American) customers.&nbsp; You might say AGEs and ASEs (with Australian planchets from the Perth Mint) don&#039;t count fully as &quot;American&quot;?&nbsp; Or if you mean ASEs and AGEs are basically bullion, I agree: &quot;not <i>really </i>coins&quot; (coined money, for circulation.) But pucks are, likewise.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, while most posts on &quot;US Coins&quot; are about <i>US Mint</i> products/issues, not all are so narrowly-defined. For example:</p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t222351/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t222351/">http://www.cointalk.com/t222351/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
