<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1344649, member: 19065"]Fulfillment of orders placed allowed to be placed in a set period of time is an idea I have thought may help many collectors acquire the modern numismatic releases from the US Mint and for the Mint to limit waste from over production. It may also improve quality checks as returns would not be necessarily replaceable, but still refundable. Orders placed would define mintage. Instead of the current release days when orders slam the Mints servers and phone lines, release day would exist for a longer, yet finite period of time when orders could be placed. When the short window of opportunity to order closed, then only that number of coins would be minted, rather than marketers trying to design a mintage or commemorative coin bills trying to legislate a mintage to raise money for something else. Delivery of coins would come as production could fulfill the orders even if it took longer than currently fulfillment takes. Anyway, waste less and accommodate the customers who get shut out of popular modern coins releases and there may be a redeeming thread of hope in the Mint yet. Just a thought...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
