With The Capt.....



I get Excited....

"Cost recovery basis" means no net costs to the taxpayer. They can even run slightly above costs and return the surplus to the general fund.

My issue is that the mint exists to make circulation coins. Not to make collector coins, that's a side business.

And it seems that a disproportionate amount of overhead and fixed costs are being born by the collectors.

Yet if you look at the mint director's report collector coins are the dog and circulation coins are the tail...

There are many things I wish the Mint did better, but I am reluctant to complain because I can imagine many more things that would make it many times worse.

Gee, you guys have got it good.

A $20 roll of $1 coins is Australia will cost you $55 for heads or tails showing on both ends, if you want heads on one end and tails on the other (Premium roll) it will be $60. This years uncirculated coin set contains $3.85 worth of coins and sells for $40. Oh, and $10 minimum postage on top of that if you buy from the mint.

And I thought the RCM was cashing in on a good thing.

Classic Uncirculated Set (2024) $26.95 CAD, $3.95 face value. (mintage 100,000)
