<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2192242, member: 112"]Pretty much anything the mint could do, there is a way around it, a way to counter it. This scenario has been playing out for 20 years or so now. Over that time period nothing has ever really changed. The mint has done this, done that, done something else, all as a way of answering complaints from individuals that it just isn't fair. Or rather to at least make it look like they (the mint) are doing something. But the bottom line is the mint is in the business of making money, showing a profit, and they are pretty good at doing that. And their efforts to satisfy complaints, well I see it as good marketing technique, effective marketing, more than anything else. For it always seems to stimulate potential buyers to get in while the getting is good. In other words, it's all a game.</p><p><br /></p><p>What kind of gets me is that about 99% of the complaints come from people who didn't get their chance to make money too.
