They’re sitting on billions of the damn things, and yet they do nothing to try & move them!

Why not drag ’em out, slap a fire sale price tag on ’em, say $29.95 per roll, and offer us each of the last (20) Presidents for a few months at least. They’d sell millions of ’em…!! Does that just make too much sense or is there some reason they can’t do it?

good one Kevin

it is funny because it’s true lol

confucius ask: could the banksters make anti-counterfeiting features so great that even the banksters could not break them?

I hope it’s not too late to reverse this oversight.

Also, how about a 2012 Commemorative for the Titanic disaster centennial? I wonder if anyone would buy that one?

Not saying that I hope it won’t but I would expect that there would be minimums of whatever measurements they’re using applied to determine if the coin should be produced in any particular year and that they don’t just go off making palladium coins forever regardless of cost or (lack of) demand.
