I found that article interesting also. I knew that the number of errors that leave the mint was reduced, but I did not realize by how much. It's definitely going to make things interesting for the error collectors.
On a semi-related note, I don't care much for error coins, unless the error happens to make the coin visually striking.
Got mine too. I'm going to read it, just as soon as I find the time to finish reading last month's issue.
