Those employees might as well forget to come back to their job after the holiday since it might warrant demotion or termination for such carelessness, especially on such a slow moving product that is not selling out and needs all the help it can get to boost sales of previously marketed and minted product waiting to be sold.</p><p><br /></p><p>If this was a topical PR stunt to generate buzz over the long weekend on blogs and forums to in turn drive up awareness of the FS coins, it's a rather risky maneuver that could well offend or back-fire on the Mint and their reputation for acting according to stated pricing policy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
