The US Mint page linked above warns people away from this stuff.  |

Not that one but I would consider buying the 9-11 commemorative medal that the US mint is supposed to be releasing later on this year.

The United States Mint wants to alert consumers and the public about a new product being marketed by a private firm--the National Collector's Mint. The National Collector's Mint advertises this product as a "10th Anniversary September 11th Commemorative Dollar" and claims that it is a "Liberian government authorized legal tender coin."
This product is not a genuine United States coin or medal. I'd pay $1 for it and no more. |

I saw this months ago. It's a tragedy that those people are using 9/11 to make money. Read the disclaimer the Mint has posted.

No, it is pure & simple greed. NCM & the Liberian government have no connection to the 911 commission. The 911 medal, on the other hand, might be tastefully done & endorsed by the government.

What you have linked is not a US Mint product. I never said it was. However the U.S. Mint is going to have their own. That's probably why they are bashing it. So the question is, that it's not alright for the Liberians to make the commemorative, but it is for the U.S.? Quote:

But does that make it alright for them to do it? It's a question of morals. To profit from the death of others or not. Edited by KenRingold

Liberia has ZERO connection to September 11 not to mention the fact that NCM merely pays a licensing fee to Liberia to be able to mint coins under their sovereignty. However, Liberia is just one step above a failed state with their former leader currently on trial at The Hague for Crimes Against Humanity. Look up the word corruption in a dictionary and you just might see a picture of the Liberian Government.
The official September 11 medal to be issued by the US Mint is a fund raising, not profit driven, vehicle with $10 of each purchase going to to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum to support its operations and maintenance.
