Tpatna Pillar of the Community United States 1626 Posts	Posted 09/07/2006 08:08 am Yesterday as I was eating dinner, I saw a T.V commercial for the US Mint. It was kind of funny because it was showing people that could not concentrate because they were thinking about coins. Anyone else see this? Do you think this will boost the number of coin collectors?

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 09/07/2006 7:38 pm I saw it, saying "do you not participate in family functions? blah blah blah, are you a Numismist, Blah Blah Blah" shows a guy running in a marathon and he see's a coin laying on the ground and he stops and picks it up and inspects it. Dont know if it will boost sales or anything but I did see it. I remember the family thing because that is what my wife keeps on telling me, and when se saw that commercial she said to my youngest daughter "thats your daddy right there". Its because I am always studying my coins and looking in the VAM book trying to identify it Edited by Bryan1315 09/07/2006 7:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

This is the first "gimicky" commercial I have seen but it does get your attention. Report this Post to the Staff
