Including the circulation type material? They have always resisted that because they have already posted the seniorage profits into the general fund. Melting them down means taking that money back OUT of the general fund. That's probably hundreds of millions of dollars disappearing with nothing to show for it. Hey I've got an idea! Re-anneal them, run them through the upsetting mlll and send them back through the presses again! Save on planchet costs! Get your William Henry Harrison overstruck on a 2001-D Sac dollar![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
