<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2415232, member: 73165&quot;]Is it considered political to criticize the US Mint now?&nbsp; I think it is a perfectly fair statement to say the US Mint would not be producing these coins if it weren&#039;t going to bring in a lot of money.&nbsp; And, while Dan Carr certainly needs to make a living, I&#039;m reasonably sure his primary motivation is not profit.&nbsp; The difference is I think Dan Carr might make these coins anyway, even if they weren&#039;t going to be highly profitable, whereas the US Mint would not.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think the main difference is that the Moonlight Mint only strikes a couple hundred coins per die.&nbsp; The US Mint strikes thousands.&nbsp; There&#039;s a big difference between what&#039;s doable at artisanal scale for one guy and a surplus press vs what&#039;s doable at industrial scale where you have to pay a ton of people and maintain a lot of equipment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
