And The US mint is supposed to source all the silver from american sources... but they won't do that because it would change the price of silver.

This changing design sounds like a convenient excuse.
Because the new dies that are coming have no effect on the old dies being used.
And they can be swapped out in a single night on all their machines.

I want to see a bitcoin coin actually minted in gold.
I want to see the heads that will explode when they see such a thing.
Gold bugs buying bitcoin??!!
