My guess is Mike Lee (Utah)&nbsp; is looking to tighten up the amount of freedom with platinum that the Secretary of Treasury has. it&#039;s a new introduction earlier this month,, Cancel the Coin Act, S. 185. all others are limited on denomination, not so with platinum.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not saying anyone has done it, or has the votes to do it, I am saying the loop hole is there to do it. and there&#039;s been &quot;what about if we&#039;s&quot; to use it that never came to fruition, and now an effort to tighten it up just in case someone ever did use it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
