<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Treashunt, post: 171095, member: 6763&quot;]Conder:</p><p>&nbsp;You missed it by one issue. In the October 23rd issue, there was an interview with the director of the mint, Edmund Moy, &quot;... (the mint and Federal Reserve) are considering suggestions to provide coins in smaller rolls than normally used for the denomination, smaller overall quantities than usual and unmixed rolls during the early stages of the coin release.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Earlier in the article they (the mint) state that this is because (during the release of the Sacagawea dollars) &quot;in January 2000 through WalMart stores nationwide. Many of those 94 million coins were quickly pulled out of circulation by collectors and other members of the public and never effectively circulated.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So, apparently: 1) once again it is the collectors&#039; fault (remember 1964?); 2) WalMart&#039;s fault, although how small rolls will change the hoarding when they only gave out one at a time is anyone&#039;s guess; 3) how smaller rolls and lower distribution allocations will change their use in curculation is a good question.</p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
