[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 837650, member: 16510"]Yes they do care to a point and a probably big point but,,, They are a Govt. agency and as such will make arbitrary decisions at times to meet who knows what buisness process applications. They can and do do this because they are a bit untouchable on minor decisions that they determine only they can understand or quantify. All Govt. agencies do this to some extent or another at times. I've seen it ten thousand times. An agency will decide this or that and then sell it, (or force it) on the employees who then have to sell (or force it) to customers. Happens all the time and is always propped up by reasons so nebulus that to interprete them is impossible and overwhelming - that's the point to confuse and defuse at the same time and it works. To sum it up: The mint cares a great deal about us as collectors until some objective gets in the way - at that point we are as spots on the wall until the next time they need us - it's hit or miss!!![/QUOTE]
