<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 342766, member: 4626&quot;]The real problem with the spouse coins is not that they&#039;re too common... it&#039;s that they&#039;re too expensive for the majority of casual collectors.&nbsp; I think that would be easier to sell if they went with say, 1/4 oz. gold coins instead, or maybe even as one person on this board suggested, silver dollars.&nbsp; A lot more people could collect them and the Mint would actually be making a higher total profit on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reminds me of the classic illustration of volume vs. per item profit (maybe a bit dated now lol):&nbsp; &quot;The reason Tom Cruise gets paid millions of dollars to act in a movie is not because he can get 5 people to pay $1 million each to see it; it&#039;s because he can get 1 million people to pay $5 each to see it.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
