It is amusing when the mint announces "
Final Production Numbers (FPN)." Just a few short months ago they announced the Hot Springs FPN and then with the other half of their forked tongue announced that industrial purchasers were able to buy
Ballistic Bags of fifty thousand dollars until the end of the year, despite those FPN announcements. It would be kinda like them saying" FPN for the 2012
ASE are six gazillion", or some such schlock. I bought early on the Mint's abandoned promise that they would not State Park us with the
ATB Quarters (I use "State Park" as a verb; meaning produce enough
ATB Quarters to manufacture the next GM auto line for two years). Then box upon box of
ATB arrive here, having never seen even one box of State Park quarters in this area. Clearly, this is them punking us like the HSN punks their sucker buyer base, and not much more. Expect to see these quarters produced en-masse, ubiquitous as McDonald's french fries. Eat up, at least the first few taste good.
