[QUOTE="calcol, post: 3909698, member: 77639"]Mint NDAs, if they exist, may have a statement about national security confidentiality and criminal penalties in it for some employees. There may different types of NDAs for different job classifications. Mint probably cares a lot more about confidentiality for executives, guards, and coining floor employees than it does for salespersons at the souvenir desks. Mint employees would be dumb to collect coins with dates occurring during their job tenure even if it's not forbidden. There would always be the question of how they were obtained. There are a few other activities, like working part-time for a coin dealer, that wouldn't be smart either. When I worked for USDA, doing research and some service activities, I didn't have to sign a NDA as such. I vaguely recall the final sign-for-the-position document had a statement about upholding the laws of the United States and the policies and regulations of USDA.
