<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 5706653, member: 26302&quot;]Actually I thought it was free of charge minting your PM into coinage if you wanted to wait. However, the mint encouraged the option that you could exchange your bullion instantly for coins for a small fee. The mint did this because it gave them a little revenue, but I am pretty sure if you wished to wait for the mint to use yours, you would come back in a month or something and they would give you the coins they could produce from your bullion and pay you for whatever little amount was left over that was too small to coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I read this about the very earliest days of the mint. Later, when they reduced the pm in the coinage, I am sure they passed a law to let the government keep the seignorage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
