<p>[QUOTE="saltysam-1, post: 1403630, member: 23368"]What kind of sets off an alarm bell for theme's, are the football commemoratives. I don't think private business belongs on a commemorative coin, and professional sports is a private enterpize/business. With the Mint looking for something to offset the lost revenue, before you know it, they will be selling these commemoratives coins for advertising space. It will go to the highest bidder, or largest political contributor, lobbing group, special interest, etc... I'm reaching here, but I hope you get my drift. The olympics doesn't fall into this catagopry. Neither does non-professional sports, or someone from sports like Jackie Robinson, who represented a social issue. But something doesn't set right when privately owned organizations are featured who can achieve personal gains from something like this. It's like free advertising to them. (IMHO) Any idea who or what will get the royalty associated from the sales of these coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
