I find the following story to be particularly interesting. The reason is because of what I heard when I listened to an interview with Ross Hansen from NWT Mint on FSN last weekend. According to Hansen, he said that he thought that we were unlikely to see coin shortages in the near future because the US Mint had addressed the availability of blanks which was said to be the key bottleneck. He commented that some of the products which had been difficult to get (Buffalos, for example) were being made available again and that production capacity has been increased significantly. netcastdaily.com UPDATE 1-US Mint to suspend American Eagle gold 1-oz coins Wed Nov 25, 2009 3:09pm EST (Updates with details, background) NEW YORK, Nov 25 (Reuters) - The U.S. Mint said on Wednesday it will suspend sales of the popular American Eagle 1-ounce bullion coins as rising demand depleted its inventory. "The United States Mint has depleted its current inventory of 2009 American Eagle 1-ounce gold bullion coins due to the continued strong demand for this product," the Mint told its authorized dealers in a memorandum on Wednesday. November sales to date were at 124,000 ounces, higher than the 115,500 ounces sold in each month of September and October, the Mint said. The Mint said it expects to resume sales in early December. Increasing worries about inflation, a falling U.S. dollar and geopolitical tensions are prompting individual investors to take physical possession of gold coins and other bullion products due to the metal's appeal as a safe haven in financial and political crises. Gold XAU= hit a record high at just under $1,190 an ounce on Wednesday due to a broadly lower dollar and renewed interest from central banks. Year to date, the metal has risen more than 35 percent. [GOL/] Last year, the Mint had also briefly suspended sales of its American Eagle gold and silver coins due to high demand and a lack of coin blanks. Produced from gold mined in the United States, the 22-karat American Eagles have been novel items among collectors and investors since their introduction in 1986. Each coin has a face value of $50 but it is sold by authorized dealers at a premium to the price of gold. (Reporting by Frank Tang; Editing by Lisa Shumaker) reuters.com
