So I guess you better go check to see that your welfare credit cards have been loaded at the end of the month. Your Uncle Obama will see you’re covered. If you had found the gold I’m sure you would have given them back to Obama.

The clerk from the mint got off a train carrying two heavy satchels within walking distance. He served time in prison but never disclosed the location of the coins. The number of stolen coins was identical to those found. Just a coin incidence one must presume.

Everyone says it’s unlikely the SF Mint would have held onto these coins. Even the US Government said there’s no connection with these coins and concluded the case to be closed.

Not sure why so many folks are wanting to side with the Government on this. Must be jealousy.
