<p>[QUOTE="CentDime, post: 187834, member: 7297"]I think your reason is also correct , but the low face value is sort of a round-about way to get to your reason, and why the mint doesn't want these coins to circulate. Right now it doesn't make sense to counterfeit nearly all of the platinum coins since they trade close to bullion value. If the bullion value fell below the face value though, then it might be an incentive to do it for all of the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the mint doesn't want the coins to circulate for perhaps two reasons, your reason and it also defeats the purpose of them being a bullion coin. If the mint wants $100 coins to circulate then they would make them out of something less valuable than the bullion value of the coin because they also make money on selling coins as a business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
