<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 231763, member: 4552&quot;]I have to agree with you completely. Many people just don&#039;t understand that our government is now in the buisness of making money to support themselves any way they can. The Mint is just one more place trying to make a buck. If they stick to producing money in the form of coins and currency they will soon enough be laying off personal and we know the government just wouldn&#039;t do that. </p><p>If you look around you&#039;ll notice that the usage of our monitary system is fading away. Credit Cards, Debit Cards, internet payments, etc are making this a soon to be without money civilasation. Soon enough with all the international transactions only a computerized monitary system will be effective so that transactions all over the world will be possible without massive attempts to calculate the cost of items. With such a computerized montary system why would any coinage be required except in gum ball machines. Therefore our Mint makes coins for collectors more and more and less and less for circulation. If you look at the Red Book for example you&#039;ll see pages and pages of commenoratives that are for collectors only. The famous Bicentennial coins were supposed to be such but failed. Now the state Quarters, baby dollars, etc. are just futher attempts for the Mint to stay in buisness just a while longer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
