Bix Weir: U.S. mint issues false statement on bullion sourcing

Section: Daily Dispatches

4p ET Saturday, June 7, 2008

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

GATA supporter Bix Weir, who the other day reported how the U.S. Mint's suspension of the production of silver eagle coins violates federal law, which requires the mint to produce as many coins as are necessary to meet demand, has pointed out another mistake by the mint -- its claim that it is required to use for its coins only silver mined in the United States. Weir's report is headlined "U.S. Mint Issues False Statement on Bullion Sourcing" and you can find it at GoldSeek's companion site, SilverSeek, here:
