> So you figure the 1% increase is to reduce demand? I hate to say this, but I don't think US Mint can grasp the idea of supply/demand based on the number of modern commemorative coins they keep making. They are probably just passing on their increased costs for planchets and the 1% is going to end up at the Perth Mint. Unfortunately, retailers will get squeezed because gold buyers are very price sensitive and won't pay $5 more for an American Eagle than for a Canadian Maple Leafs.
