And they know that if they do not call them coins they can&#039;t sell enough of them to even cover the manufacturing the dies, let alone all their other labor costs. The only way to make a profit is to designate them as being coins. If they do that, collectors will buy them. If they don&#039;t they won&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
