[QUOTE="rodeoclown, post: 1300431, member: 34005"]You're just now throwing words out there to make it seem as if the Treasury Department is a "For Profit" business with stocks and stock holders, which it isn't. Clearly you don't understand what the mint does besides mint coinage. They mint to meet the demands for circulating coins for the United States, not just to make money from them. The Mission of the Mint: The primary mission of the United States Mint is to manufacture and distribute circulating coins, precious metals and collectible coins, and national medals to meet the needs of the United States. In addition to producing coins and medals, the United States Mint also maintains physical custody and protection of the Nation's gold and silver assets. If they wanted to maximize profits, why stop the latest 25th ASE Anniversary set at just 100k that sold out in 5 hours? Huh? Poor analogy and no, the mint is not out to make maximum profit because if they were doing that, they're doing a very poor job at it because they could mint a whole lot more money to make more money but you know, that would be bad because then inflation would turn around and make it all worthless.[/QUOTE]
