<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2809979, member: 77639&quot;]A few other things to consider:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; Population is growing and will continue to do so barring a catastrophe.&nbsp; Even if the percent of the population that collects coins decreases, the total number will probably increase.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; If coins are no longer minted for circulation, the number of such coins available per person will decrease because of increasing population and attrition of the coins.&nbsp; Coins will become relatively rarer which may increase their appeal as collectibles.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; As long as folks want to own precious metals, which will be into the indefinite future, mints will coin bullion even if they aren&#039;t making coins for circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>4.&nbsp; As long as mints can promote and sell commemoratives at a profit, that will continue too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
