<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1541147, member: 66&quot;]I started saying the same thing years ago when we first got five years ahead. (we are doing better now, only four year ahead).</p><p><br /></p><p>Can&#039;t really agree with taking the seigniorage away for the national debt because they are going to need it to offset to losses on the circulating coinage.&nbsp; But I think you meant the surcharges that go to the group being commemorated.&nbsp; That I could see, but if the groups aren&#039;t being given funds from the commemoratives, why would there be surcharges?&nbsp; After all SOME of the commemoratives are purchased to help support the organizations, I&#039;m not sure how much extra interest there would be in buying commemoratives just to contribute money just to &quot;reduce the national debt&quot; especially when the funds would just be put in the general fund and spent rather than actually going to any real debt reduction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are we starting to abuse our commemorative program?&nbsp; No, we have been doing it for some time now and it is probably only going to get worse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
