<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 25365879, member: 104064&quot;]Perhaps the profit lies in the mint&#039;s mutilated coin program. While this article seems to exonerate the recycling industry in China, it wouldn&#039;t surprise me that it happened. Doesn&#039;t explain how the examples posted ended up in private hands though. But to run around spending small numbers of quarters seems like more trouble that it&#039;s worth, when you could dump them en masse into a bin of &quot;damaged coins&quot; instead.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/xw4e5j/coin-recycling-damaged-mint-china-fraud" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/xw4e5j/coin-recycling-damaged-mint-china-fraud" rel="nofollow">https://www.vice.com/en/article/xw4e5j/coin-recycling-damaged-mint-china-fraud</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
