<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 4857934, member: 24274&quot;]Yesterday I talked with Kevin Brown again, the BEP marketing manager, and he told me much the same thing that he did back in May. All the focus is on their core mission -- keeping the presses going to supply the cash needed to keep the economy moving. They are being *very* cautious about Covid, taking all precautions and keeping many staffers out of the building. You can imagine the effect if there was an outbreak and the Bureau had to shut down. The same thing is happening at the Mint. Consequently, the Mint/BEP ordering platform has been hamstrung, with many collector items unable to be shipped. Kevin said they can&#039;t risk bringing the people into the building who would normally facilitate the shipping, and they can&#039;t outsource because they&#039;re not able to move the products elsewhere. They also cannot allocate manpower to resupply collector items, so even when things return to normal it&#039;s going to take a while for the supply chain to kick in again. If you notice a lot of &quot;currently unavailable&quot; on the Mint ordering site now you know why.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
