<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jeankay, post: 400878, member: 12159&quot;]The key word here is &#039;Texas&#039;... and their very long border with Mexico. And if you don&#039;t think copper is like a cash crop, well now... I wouldn&#039;t be able to explain it to you. Not only that, the copper bullion is being sold to countries that will pay more for it because they do not have copper good enough for mining.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of our main problems along that border, as it is with Arizona, New Mexico and California, is the drug trafficking. If you can get drugs through underground tunnels into the US from Mexico, you can get copper coins over the border without a problem.</p><p>There is just too much border and too few enforcement officers to keep watch.</p><p>Yes, I know illegal immigrants seem to be the main focus, and many of them do carry drugs for the &#039;Coyotes&#039;, but most just want to come to the US because they need to support their families. I am not totally cool with that, but can understand it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Someone like this copper recycle guy is throwing the law back in our faces like it was</p><p>just so much hooey, and in turn, causes the government to try to keep up with the demand of the law-abiding citizens for coinage, and makes us pay more for the product. </p><p><br /></p><p>Simply put it is only &#039;supply and demand&#039;, in an endless circle where we get bit in the backside when it all comes back to us in that circle.</p><p><br /></p><p>jeankay[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
