Full Version: Lunchbox full of minty-fresh coins
This guy shoud have looked up Angel Ricardo Mendoza to talk shop. 
You'd think that they'd have procedures in place to stop this kind of theft. 100,000 in coins. That's a lot of coins.
Hey! Maybe these guys know where the missing Coingate coins are!
When trying to ender a plane on an international airport, one has to pass several metal detector gates.
I'd expect that they have those at Mints as well......

I saw a special on the Discovery Channel once on gold mining, and most gold mines have very strict procedures to prevent theft, and some even make the person change clothes and leave their work clothes behind for fear of stealing even gold dust in the fabric. I guess that just shows the difference between producing real money and base metal tokens.

100,000 in coins @ 2 per coin = 50,000 coins...
A lot of coins in an understatement. Can you imagine a closet full of coins

Seriously, what could one do with that? It's not like you could easily spend or "move" such an amount in coins...
