did you know the last dollar coin that was cancelled remained in production after it was cancelled to honor the manufacturing contract? As a result, did you know there a billions of dollars of minted gold coins in storage? And did you know that the storage costs millions of dollars per year to lease the storage space? And finally did you know a couple of years ago they had proposed and increase in the warehouse size to accomodate future uncirculated coins to be produced? And I know you didn't know the constrction costs were to be approaching a million dollars!!!!!!

By the way that multi million annual storage fee is still being paid.....for the billions of dollars of uncirculated coins.

If the new proposal is for a new coin....then shame on everybody remotely involved. And shame on the silent, uninformed, we the people. Your REPRESENTATIVES at work fleecing America....and we the people approving it.
