New 9/11 10 Year Anniversary Coin, Is It Offensive?

I wouldn't mind a "commemorative" coin minted by the US Mint that commemorates that day either, as long as it was like a coin that the sell would go to some type of memorial fund or something like that, or even if it was a fund for the families of the victims. But these privately owned mints making these things (since the first year after it happened) trying to make a profit off of it, that is when I think the coins and the company are dirty and I want nothing to do with either of them. You put all that together and then add to it that they say its made of recovered silver from the site to boost sales when in fact they could have had 1 ounce of silver from there and mixed it with 1000 pounds of other silver and melted it all down and calling all 1000 pounds recovered silver because you can't tell one from the other and some of the original one ounce could me mixed in with any other silver applied to every coin. At least if the US Mint were to do a commemorative of this event they would probably make it from pure precious metal, not just layered in it

Unfortunately folks, I don't believe that the firm producing the coin has an altruistic motive for the offering. I believe it's pure profit.

Just to keep you up to date, several well known Congressional Representatives have now taken up the call to ban National Collectors from marketing their "10 Year 9/11 Anniversary" coin. The current Coin World article is on line as I write this.

Who says writing your representatives doesn't have any affect? (Although, in all honesty, none of mine were involved.)
