<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 1731665, member: 21782&quot;]Very true, which is one reason their sales are shrinking, yet, hopefully for the mint, they’re using the necessary formulas to maximize their profit.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, much of my objection is due to the fact that the mint is allowed to act as a monopoly with government sanction, which does directly affect me as a consumer of their products.&nbsp; Add to that concern, historically government agencies were created to serve the people, not profit from them.&nbsp; As was mentioned, I own a small part of that agency and would expect my own company to sell to me at cost.&nbsp; How would you like it if you knew that when the IRS showed up at the door, they had better make a profit off you?&nbsp; Not exactly the same as the mint scenario, yet on point considering my belief that a government agency should not be profiting from the people and all should pay (through taxes) who benefit from it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
