Can we find out what's in the Mint's vaults?

The vaults must have some pretty neat stuff stored away. Most of it probably falls in the "out of sight, out of mind" category. There must be an accounting of it somewhere and if it doesn't pose a national security risk, can't this info be obtained through the FOIA or something similar?

The Philadelphia Mint: making coins since 1792. We make money by making money. Now in our 225th year thanks to no competition.

But what makes you assume they know what's in there? My guess is they have only the vaguest general idea, and without a microscopic inventory taking perhaps years would they have anything approaching an accurate inventory.

Both are very good points!

(I read a 1964 memo that before they consider making new '64 Peace dollars they should consider releasing the bags of 19xx Peace dollars.)
It was a disjointed series; ran for a few years, then stopped, then started again, then stopped the next year.
Marty might be right: it's not what's in the Mint's vaults but the 12 Federal reserve banks' vaults.
