New Year's Resolutions for the US Mint

Steve27

What changes should the US Mint promise to make in the upcoming year?

1) Free shipping for purchases over $50 and free Priority Mail shipping for all gold, platinum, and palladium purchases (their mark-ups are so high now, this shouldn't be an issue).
2) No non-coin items (they got rid of the spoons back in 2008, now the ornaments need to go).
3) BEP items such as uncut notes should ALL be star notes (otherwise I don't understand the big mark-ups).

I believe the only thing the Mint is interested in changing, is the crush of orders when a hot item is released. And, instead of installing the proper equipment and software, they will simply make ineffective efforts that will further frustrate customers. Cheers, RickO

I think you mean, it makes no sense to make cents.

I hope they would resolve to put the date and mint mark back on the face of the dollar coins!

What does this have to do with the US Mint? Did somebody give you a soapbox for Christmas?

What makes a cent worthless? Yes, it has a lot to do with what the mint makes.

what do I think? What do I want? What do I fear?

I can only answer the last one. They go for positive net margins on each individual numismatic line. (instead of a net margin across all numismatic products taken together)
