<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 209415, member: 4373&quot;]Actually it did happen just 20 odd years ago. During the Soviet Olympics &#039;80 when the Soviets were invading Afganistan in 1979, the rest of the world boycotted including any Soviet products. One of the saddest history is that the Soviet mints, both St. Petersburg and Moscow Mint minted excessive Olympics coins in silver, gold and platinum, hoping to make a profit but it was an obvious failure as the rest of the world boycotted. Russia never minted coins in such massive scale again. </p><p><br /></p><p>Today such mint sets are getting quite expensive as many sets were broken down, melted down etc, and many Russians are buying them back at any mad costs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
