For years the Mint sent items in those brown boxes.
They were never sealed.
I remember getting boxes where the bonus coins (like those 1 cent ones) were missing.
Lately they have come with the edges taped.
Sometime back I had sent them a couple of emails complaining about the unsecured boxes leaving them subject to Coins falling out.
The other day I got a 1st class letter from the Mint thanking me for the tape suggestion! I was shocked! First time in my life the Government listened to me!
Cudos to the Mint!

Wow! Truly monumental!

So from today onwards it should be commonplace to see flying pigs.

There it is a team for satisfying the collectors. No more no less then this. I thing so you do not understand the mentality. The Mint produce the coins but not them drive the ball. WHO drive? it is the Reserve. So in your case the mint send you a mess or write, because they do not want to loose a collector.

To understand more: I remember the 1964. The Mint start to strike, and they go for 60 bill coins (all denominations). In July 5 the reserve ordered 50 Bills more, so the Mint has to go to the Congress and explain that super stupid think. What result? The congress force the Reserve to accept strike coins with 1964 till end of April 1965.

Hope you understand that the Mint is just a piece of the business. They want to keep you customer. If they loose you?!! They will have others. So do not think to much.

So you have one customer who orders a couple of billion items a year. And a couple hundred thousand customers who order a few items every year.

Who do you pay attention to?

Sorry you do not pay attention. I say that the Mint strike Billions of coins and they have deep attention for collectors.
