    Wow. Thanks for posting it.

    There is an old story about some mint employees getting error coins out of the mint. As the story goes; they would drop the coins into the oil fill port of the fork lift machine. When the machine would go outside the mint for service, an accomplice would empty the oil pan & retrieve the coins. I wonder if any of those guys are still doing time in jail.

    I think the best was the cashier at the Philadelphia mint who stole the 1933 Double Eagles from the mint. I saw a documentary on it on the Smithsonian Channel.
