Of course, after that SNAFU with the new $100 dollar notes they had to re-coupe the money somewhere.

“Has there been a huge spike in the price of ink?”

Just of the RED INK variety. Actually, the BEP’s action is probably due to a perceived rise in interest in their products, so just in case huge numbers of orders come flooding in, they’re ready to reap the profit.

Hmm, the mint says it must raise gold products because gold is up, it also raised silver even though silver is down since its peak. The government says there is no inflation, and seniors get no cost of living increases. When gas goes up, there is no addition to the cost of living, but when it goes down there is a decrease to the cost of living.

Government does a good job of cooking the books. So how in the world do you justify the rise in the price of uncut paper that is less labor or machine intensive and actually costs less to produce than the sliced and diced version.

Raise Prices..!!
Well, that ought to spur higher sales for sure. Great thinking guys. The BEP must use the same marketing gurus as Netflix.
