<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1008135, member: 112&quot;]If you think it says nothing about profits you need to read it again.

If there were no profits involved, then exactly how does the mint allow for discounts ? The law specifically says that they may not sell the bullion for less than cost. So there must be profits, otherwise there would be no room for discounts now would there ?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>{quote]As a American Citizen i think i do have a innate right to buy the bullion my government produces.

They also have the right, as do you, to purchase at a discount, as prescribed by law. And it is merely your inaccurate supposition that there are no profits that is the driving force behind your reasoning. Just because you think something to be true, doesn&#039;t mean it is true.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
