<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 201672, member: 6641&quot;]Fair enough - it&#039;s just in my nature to try and understand issues and then see if there is a better approach.&nbsp; I guess this is why I am a Quality Control Manager.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With any business that you are not directly involved in, it is hard to understand what leads to the issues.&nbsp; You would think it&#039;s like any other high volume consumer product.&nbsp; (I really think the mint has more challenges than any other business but in general they are probably faced with some similar process issues as a high volume manufacturer - bottle necks, supplier issues, technology limitations, number of touches, etc. ) </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You buy it - then it does not work or is damaged out of the box, you have to wonder how could this happen.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The folks at cointalk at least have enough knowledge about the mint to give some insight into it.&nbsp; The fact that there are 17 mints serving the euro probably is a good indication that maybe the US needs to use more machines at the current mints (D and P) or use some of the other mints for circulated coins. Capacity is a killer when you exceed it especially over extended periods of time.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks again[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
