<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mstng02gt, post: 1638542, member: 15174&quot;]The US owns the finest mints in the world. In the past many other countries have actually contracted the US to mint their coins. Now that we already have the equipment and most of it is automated there would be no savings by using over seas cheap labor. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also giving other countries the minting powers over US coins (or printing of currency) would be tantamount to giving them a blank check especially if ever there was to be a war. </p><p><br /></p><p>As it is it is already suspected that North Korea bought a set of intaglio presses to print counterfeit &quot;super notes&quot; that look so real it can fool all but the highest levels of the banking system. Since a few microscopic differences in the notes can be detected they were caught. However, if they have already or in the future fix such flaws they could remain undetectable. They could then be circulated around and then purchased by the fed for genuine currency.</p><p><br /></p><p>This would be the fall of the US economy if we were to allow foreign governments to produce any of our money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
