Did anyone else watch the Travel Channel last night? They had an excellent program called "Secrets of the U.S. Mint". VERY informative show. They take you inside the mint and show you the complete process of minting coins, including Silver, Gold & Platinum Proofs. They also touched on errors and counterfiets and novelties. Looking ahead, it looks like it is going to replay 2/18 @ 3:00 and 2/21 @ 4:00 (EST). I would advise everyone from newbies to the most knowledged watch/record this program (if you can) as it is the absolute best program on coins that I have ever seen.

Thank you ndgoflo, I'll try and catch it the next time its aired. Sounds like one of those that a person can learn something each time he watches the film.

Yes, I saw this last night. I couldnt believe that this was filmed in 2001 yet I have never seen it on the Travel Channel which I watch semi-regularly. I thought it was very fascinating, especially the part about the counterfeit $20 high relief gold pieces- the copies were actually microscopically signed with the greek letter omega.

I have seen this program earlier, but I will set my system to record it at one of the later times.

Thanks for the advance notice.
