[QUOTE="Bacchus, post: 52553, member: 759"]Which is it ? By your own statements, somebody is risking their job, which is why I think they did it for profit. I don’t know what mechanism the Mint has in place for monitoring quarters. If all they’re doing is counting them it would be easy to replace them with old quarters. Pockets are checked ? Maybe management is involved. I think Mint management has had a fairly shady past; someone even wrote a book about it. Look at the numbers. Change the dies, run off 5,000 coins (a pittance compared to the 300 million they’re going to create), keep 3000, let 2000 go into circulation, wait for values to hit $200 per coin, sell 3000 X $200 = $600,000. All speculation on my part, of course; I have no proof, and I’m making no accusations. I’m merely stating why I have no interest in these coins, as my explanation is the most likely one of any I’ve read.[/QUOTE]
