#Congress in 1985 prohibited the #USMint from making bullion out of foreign #gold because it wanted to insulate the process from #HumanRights abuses, primarily in apartheid South Africa. The Mint has flouted that #law, across Democratic & Republican administrations, despite internal warnings.

Some Mint gold has come from a company in Honduras that dug up an Indigenous graveyard for the ore underneath.

“To hold a coin or medal produced by the Mint is to connect to the founding principles of our nation,” the #USMint declares.
But a New York Times investigation has found that the government’s program of #gold sales is based on a lie. The Mint is actually the last link in a chain that launders foreign #gold, much of it illegally mined, for an insatiable market.

"Congress in 1985 prohibited the Mint from making bullion out of foreign gold because it wanted to insulate the process from human rights abuses, primarily in apartheid South Africa. The Mint has flouted that law, across Democratic and Republican administrations, despite internal warnings.
Now, even President Trump’s 24-karat gold coin, commemorating the United States’ 250th birthday, could come from a swirl of non-American gold from any number of sources.
The Mint, the biggest name in the global market for investment gold coins, is an example of how the industry’s guardrails have collapsed. Gold prices hover around $5,000 an ounce, about four times the price of a decade ago. That gives criminal organizations and fly-by-night operators a huge incentive to mine in wasteful, destructive and risky ways.
Investors buy gold as a hedge against instability. Nearly every terrorist attack, war and financial meltdown in the past quarter-century has fueled a gold-buying frenzy.
But as prices climb ever higher, wealthy buyers are actually helping to create the very instability they are trying to hedge against.
Gold mining funds Sudan’s brutal civil war and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Surging gold prices have helped Venezuela and Iran temper the effects of financial sanctions. Colombia’s biggest cartel, the Clan del Golfo, traffics in gold alongside cocaine — and uses the proceeds to maintain control through murder and bombings. Illegal miners deforest and pollute the Amazon, poisoning people there with mercury. Terrorist groups, including some linked to Al Qaeda, are getting into the gold business, too."

Update: A Trump-appointed commission has approved the design for the Trump gold coin, which will allow the U.S. Mint to start production. “As we approach our 250th birthday, we are thrilled to prepare coins that represent the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, and there is no profile more emblematic for the front of such coins than that of our serving President, Donald J. Trump,” U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach said in a statement." Here's more from @AssociatedPress.

Most people here in the U.S. still refuse to understand and accept the true nature and full extent of the unbridled evil we face regardless of the clearly and explicitly stated goals and actions.
Greed, power, and ego defines Trump, his entire administration, and everyone who enables, supports, or abides him.

U.S. President Donald Trump wants the U.S. Mint to produce a 24-karat gold commemorative coin bearing his image as part of the celebrations for America's 250th anniversary. This was discussed by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) and the conversation was featured on the Mint's official YouTube channel. In it, members of the non-partisan design committee were critical of the idea, with acting chair Donald Scarinci saying: "Only those nations ruled by kings or dictators display the image of their sitting ruler on the coins of the realm." Now, Marisa Kabas of the Handbasket says the video has been taken down. "The larger message is loud and clear: Dissent will not be tolerated," she writes.

I am already mourning the loss of the penny because I'm thinking about certain customer interactions that will become obsolete. No longer will I be able to quip with dad-joke-level comments when a customer donates two cents for future customer usage: Thank you for giving me your two cents. Or, when one penny drops into the change tray---my register makes change for coins--"Don't go spending it all in one place." #Penny #USMint
