<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1334725, member: 19065&quot;]With only 55 minted &quot;people not into coins&quot; haven&#039;t much opportunity to get these into hand and to consider them for spending. If the $1000 denomination inspired them to go spend it, they&#039;d have just as much trouble as some people do when spending $2, $500 or $1000 notes, which all draw suspicion or are flat out refused, plus one wouldn&#039;t be able to deposit the palladium coin in a bank, as any bank teller simply wouldn&#039;t accept the piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mr. Carr faces far greater problems with <a href="http://www.designscomputed.com/coins/fakes.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.designscomputed.com/coins/fakes.htm" rel="nofollow">fakes</a> on the market. Forged copies of his own designs are far more likely to deceive collectors of his work than are 55 palladium coins he has up for sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, with just 55 coins, these coins are not a threat to the money supply of the US. Liberty dollars were thought to be more of an effort or risk to undermine the currency of the US. If you have questions about the legality of Carr&#039;s palladium coin, why not <a href="http://dcarr@DesignsComputed.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://dcarr@DesignsComputed.com" rel="nofollow">write to him directly</a>? He&#039;s more than amicable and ready to talk about the legality of his pieces, or how his work differs from things like Liberty dollars which were determined in court to be illegal and a threat to US currency. I&#039;m sure he will reply to your questions, if not in a personal email then in a thread such as this, as he comments on the topic when it arises on CT from time to time, as he is also a <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/member.php?u=4781" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/member.php?u=4781">member of this forum</a>, whom you can contact here as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
