<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1482928, member: 19065"]By this reasoning the Perth Mint is no different than most world mint's anymore. Many many many of the world mints have begun successfully marketing manufactured collectibles and gifts items. The US Mint in some ways can be regarded as bearing restraint in not producing map shaped coins, colorized series coins, coins inset with jewels, et al. However, the mark up is the same on any modern manufactured NIFC collectible coin. No one is making you buy these products but other people may have their own desire for collecting them that we shouldn't put down because of it. And if you don't have the budget to afford something there's no reason to slam it either. Many of these products are minted in short supply when compared to the greater mintages of standard products these mint's produce and world mints differ greatly from the Franklin Mint in that they produce legal tender, denominated in a nations currency, supported by the authority of those nations as to purity and face value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
