[quote:Barry Miacockener:MV81MzU5NzkyXzk4OTMzNjc1X0JDNzYyNzAx] [quote:Layne Cobain:MV81MzU5NzkyXzk4OTMzNjE3XzQyMkUxQUI=] i am from winnipeg, apparently what happened was that these 56 employees were all working together running a coin smuggling ring. the mint was missing tens of thousands of dollars worth of coins monthly but couldnt figure out what was going on..that is until the other day when one of the employees was leaving for lunch had farted by accident and a bunch of loonies fell out of his pant leg and rolled all over the floor. Once they confiscated the loonies and toonies which he was hiding in his upper and lower colons, which was a total of $2300, they decided to search the rest of the people working the shift using xrays and it turns out every person was doing the same, no one had less then $1500 shoved up their anus. The manager of the mint came out later that day and told reporters that "something just didnt smell right from the very start" [/quote] :damned: the lengths that people will go or shove are endless...

Anyone got any news from the US Mint?
I wonder what could be happening to precious metals...
WINNIPEG — The Royal Canadian Mint says it’s temporarily laying off 56 employees at its Winnipeg facility.
In a statement, the Mint says “prolonged effects of the pandemic and ongoing geopolitical instability” are disrupting global markets, which it says is limiting demand for coins it makes for other countries.
It says it believes the disruption is temporary and that the foreign circulation business will return as global markets reopen.
