<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 185021, member: 1101&quot;]To bring the discussion back to the coins, when the Mint takes a chuck of metal and smacks it between two dies, it is worth what the denomination says.&nbsp; If it goes into a cash drawer or sits in vault, it makes no difference - it is on the govt&#039;s books as money.&nbsp; When the Mint melts that coin into scrap, it has lost the profit it earned.&nbsp; BTW - relatively very few coins make it back to the Mint for melting under normal circumstances.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
