[QUOTE="Midas, post: 52541, member: 2761"]I really think they did it on a dare or a bet to see if anybody would notice. It would be like putting your initials on a dollar bill to see after you spend it if that bill eventually would make its rounds back to you. They (mint employees) knew that all used dies get destroyed so tracing any modifications back to them would be hard to prove. The mint is investigating this embarassment and whoever did this will surely lose their job...if it can be proved. I am not familar with mint security, but I have to believe that your pockets must be empty before you take to the floor. Also, with computerized counters and all, every unit is accounted for so the likelyhood of grabbing a handful here or there without getting caught is nill. Die gouges? I never seen one look exactly like it belonged there in the first place. A conspiracy to get mint employees rich? Doubtful...possible, but very doubtful.[/QUOTE]
