[QUOTE="mystery45, post: 747134, member: 19591"]It is but it isn't. It still answers to the federal reserve which answers to congress. not going there very complicated mess. anyway. the reason is this as they mint a coin they have to pay the spot price. so as it goes up it continues to get more expensive to mint coins. that also means the selling price continues to go up as well. the higher the price goes up the less people buy, However that doesn't mean the mint stops minting coins. So if they get a back log of inventory and can't move them then there is no reason to mint anymore till those sell. what is worse for the mint is if the price crashes after they have minted these coins. The risk on the mint is way to high now. so they are closing their bets on it. it is perfectly logical to do so.[/QUOTE]
