I think it's kinda' neat - The mint has learned a very valuable lesson from the USPS. Millions of dollars in stamps are purchased each year by stamp collectors - Philatelists or something like that -(sounds almost like a blow job!). Anyhoo! These millions of dollars are spent on stamps that are never used for postage so it amounts to all but clear profit for the postal service - the same is probably happening with the commerative coins - people are taking a ton of them out of circulation which amounts to clear profit for the federal government - Just a thought.
