No i do not, the mints are making money out of them, thus they have an incentive to carry on minting and the governments will let them because they&#039;re running at a profit. When they stop running at a profit then the tables will turn.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Au Contraire, i personally only collect coins once they&#039;ve left circulation for good. It&#039;s my rule, don&#039;t collect current coins, i generally wait till they&#039;ve been demonetised. I often find it to be the case that when something is all around people take it for granted and don&#039;t give two hoots. Take it away and people suddenly become interested. I think coin collecting as a hobby could actually grow once coins are consigned to the pages of history. Like sports cards and things, they might actually be cooler.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. I don&#039;t agree with the logic on point three because i answered 2 differently. I reckon bullion will stay as is, it&#039;s lumps of gold and will always be treat as lumps of gold. Modern bullion &#039;coins&#039; are not coins but round bits of precious metal that trade for certain prices, they&#039;ll follow those prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
