Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 11/20/2011 1:07 pm they are supposed to all be melted down, not even any kept for historical purposes We all know if they minted them, they are likely going to get out some how Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188213 Posts	Posted 11/22/2011 11:24 am I would be totally shocked if one did not surface "in the wild" at some point in the future. I cannot imagine them all being melted. The very idea that they are supposed to be melted, and not even one being kept for historical purposes, is just plain stupid. That, of course, does not surprise me; because we are nation (with no shortage) of idiots.
