<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 52563, member: 2761&quot;]As stated, I can&#039;t imagine anybody thinking they can get a job at the mint or U.S. Treasury and simply walking out with a handful/bag of quarters or better yet, a sheet of $100 printed bills.&nbsp; I would bet there are just too many checks and balances to discourage employees from dipping into the coin bin or sheets of printed currency. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://travel.discovery.com/fansites/jrmia/goods/gallery/usmint.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>If a conspiracy took place, then these employees would be prime suspects.&nbsp; The secret service does not have a sense of humor and most likely has every Denver mint employee on some type of &quot;watch&quot; list.&nbsp; Fines, prison, losing your job, etc., are enough of a deterrent for most people.&nbsp; We shall see what happens as somebody will fess up what really took place.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fact of the matter remains is that whether it is a conspiracy, &quot;prank&quot; or a perfect looking die gouge (that happens to look just like a corn stalk), these quarters are out there.&nbsp; State quarter collectors have been buying them and as important, the press is all over this.</p><p><br /></p><p>News travels much faster than in 1955 when the DDO Cent made its way into circulation.&nbsp; PCGS and NGC have been certifying these varieties and I expect the RED BOOK will list them too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even if you don&#039;t care or collect them...be honest...when you get a 2004-D Wisconsin in your change, do you look for the leaf?...or do you simply throw them into the closest soda machine or toll basket?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
