On a side note, I noticed and article the other day on Excite.com titled "US
Mint Production Wilts in Recession" and thought it could tell me something
about the effects of the recession on coin production, an area that I've
been interested in for some time. Instead, it was about the US peppermint
crop. Oh! Well! Bummer!
