<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 1515973, member: 4373&quot;]Amanda - if the idea of blood diamond does not disturb you, I have nothing further to say. We do not speak the same language or have any common value. A human&#039;s life is priceless and should never be described as &quot;better fish to fry&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>SilverforLife - I would watch saying that if I were you. It&#039;s no good making &quot;suggestions&quot; if you don&#039;t know what you are talking about. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s why: </p><p>1) Different agencies and roles. Perth Mint is owned by the Western Australia government whereas Austria Mint is a subsidary of National Bank of Austria. Austria Mint has room to make money elsewhere in producing national coinage, planchets besides bullions. Perth Mint on the other hand ONLY specializes in bullions and refinery. Big difference there. </p><p>2) Import tax, tax subsidy, all other forms of taxes / subsidies.</p><p>3) Nationalism of buying &#039;locally&#039; produced goods. I don&#039;t know where you are at but you cannot just bluntly tell business to close up because they are too expensive, fire their employees and expect them to do fine with no support. You or I could be in that very business.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know what kind of life you live in but it seems it&#039;s ok to for you to tell others that goods are too expensive. Fair enough. On the other hand, have you never been told that you are too expensive to run in someone&#039;s business??? You would call that insulting, wouldn&#039;t you? </p><p><br /></p><p>Why don&#039;t you even attempt to find out what makes goods expensive before making obnoxious suggestions in &quot;how to improve&quot;?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
