<p>[QUOTE="VistaCruiser69, post: 24555977, member: 107016"]I've got a friend who's worked at the USPS for over 30 years. She tells me the process in which certified/registered is handled. They keep it locked up in safes and anyone who handles it during the transitioning process has to sign documents as an accountability measure. I'd bet if coins come up missing, someone at the post office stole them or they fell out.</p><p> </p><p>Shortly after I came back from the 91' Persian Gulf War, I separated from active duty. In 93' I found out that there were a few medals that Kuwait and Saudi Arabia had issued my unit for our service in regards to the operations that we conducted. I had gotten out before I received these medals. So I contacted the DOD and they mailed me not only the medals I had not received, but also every medal I had earned while serving active duty. The point is, when I got the package, it was broken open but luckily nothing was missing. How does that happen? I think that someone at the Post Office ripped it open to see what was inside and seeing the medals, didn't feel they wanted to take them since they weren't really of any monetary value, unlike silver & gold. I was super happy to get them though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
