<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 11198080, member: 26302&quot;]I have always read the mints back then did not try to redistribute coins based on mints, and distributed locally as allowed to minimize costs. I know what you are saying, the mint started such things maybe in the 60s to thwart coin collectors, but I have always heard more D and C gold was distributed locally. It well could end up in the north, paying for trade, but they were not intentionally moved north or west by the Federal government from what I have ever read. This is part of the reason for small mintages, the south simply had a tiny economy compared to the north at the time, (main reason north won the Civil War). </p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting question. If anyone has better references than I have read would love to hear about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
