<p>[QUOTE="mynamespat, post: 2709322, member: 83738"]I'd reckon that depends on how you look at it. On one hand, it would make more varieties available, lowering the costs. However, I assume you are saying that it would make coin-roll hunting obsolete. It could lower the numbers of desirable coins in circulation across the board, but even the fastest machine could only sort a limited number of coins per day. Besides, computerized optics are still a long long way from being as efficient as the human eye. At a certain point, if the numbers of desired coins are reduced enough, it wouldn't even be cost-effective to run a machine (the law of diminishing returns). Finally, there's almost always new stock entering circulation from change jars and other stashes. For example, the technology to efficiently remove silver from circulating coinage has been around for a while now, but CRH's still find nominal amounts while hunting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
