<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 986424, member: 66&quot;]The mint doesn&#039;t make the blanks.&nbsp; They get them from an outside supplier.&nbsp; And that supplier makes planchets for many other people as well, and they all want more.&nbsp; He probably HAS added more capacity and he is still maxed out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would also think that adding capacity is not something you can do very quickly.&nbsp; It is massive specialized equipment.&nbsp; And you are going to need more than just the blanking press.&nbsp; You would probably also need the rollers and probably more annealing furnaces.&nbsp; And then you are going to have to have someplace to put them so you may have to build a new building.&nbsp; Finally you have to consider do you WANT to add more capacity?&nbsp; What happens if metal prices drop and demand falls off?&nbsp; You don&#039;t want to have excess capacity just sitting unused.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
