Suzieeq01 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/26/2008 5:00 pm I was just on The Royal Mint site and attempted to buy 2 of the silver Olympic coins that just went on sale. At the checkout, I got a message saying that my country (USA) placed a restriction on ordering these coins and emptied my shopping cart. Why? Report this Post to the Staff

Currently only available to UK customers But nothing on the http://www.royalmint.com/olympicgam...UKHSP_m.aspx page but what is odd on this page it says: Low issue limit of just 20,000 Then at the bottom it says: Taken from a total coin mintage of 30,000 So I wander over to the gold version.....Strict issue limit of 3,000* and * Taken from a total coin mintage of 3,250. So what is going to happen to 10,000 (1/3) of the silver ones and 250 of the gold ones that people can't order. My wife likes the silver one as well (we are in the UK) but I can't decide if it is really worth what would come to over $60 US dollars since it is £32.95. I can understand you being disappointed in finding coins you really like and then not being able to purchase because of restrictions. Ken Report this Post to the Staff
