<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1679837, member: 11521&quot;]Security getting into the Mint is tight. Security getting out of the Mint is WAAAYYY tight. That is for guests and employees alike. If you are caught trying to smuggle ANY coin (or anything related to coins, e.g., bow ties) out of the Mint at a minimum the coin will be confiscated. If you are an employee and you are caught your employment at the Mint is immediately ended and you are subject to arrest. (That would be a federal charge that you face.) </p><p><br /></p><p>Several years ago employees at the Mint (I believe the SF Mint) found a way to sneak exotic error coins out of the Mint. (One of the gang working in the Mint would drop the coins down the exhaust pipe of a skid loader or some other similar piece of equipment. When the skid loader was sent outside the Mint for servicing another member of the gang would recover the coins from the oil pan, clean them up and sell them.) They were eventually caught and prosecuted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
