Message:: [QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 852477, member: 18157"]I did call, but just got folks that take an sales orders. I wish we could pose these questions on their web site and get accurate explainations. I wasn't suggesting the Mint was hoarding the coins, per se. If they already had the blanks and paid the money to produce the dies, it seemed reasonable that they would mint the maximum number of coins and release them through secondary channels if/when demand picked up.  It was only after investigating the difference between the meaning of "issue" and "sold" that it became clear that coins are "sold" to the Bullion Network and coins are "issued" to the Federal Reserve.  I was equating the Presidential Dollar program to the First Spouse program...that's where I went wrong.[/QUOTE]
