<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2782517, member: 27832&quot;]Remember all the talk during the last financial crisis about minting a $1 trillion platinum coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>They can put whatever face value they please on platinum, and presumably on gold or silver. The ATB 5-ounce pucks still proclaim a face value of 25 cents. I haven&#039;t yet heard of someone trying to spend one at face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>My personal pet peeve was having 1-ounce gold eagles with a $50 FV, 1/2 ounce $25, 1/10 ounce $5 -- and 1/4 ounce at $10. Makes me want to go to the Mint and demand that they make change for a $50 eagle with five $10 eagles, repeatedly. Or let me cash in two $5 eagles for one $10.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
