LIBERTY DOLLAR NEWS: September 2003 Vol. 5 No. 9 3. Annual Audit and Inspection for 2003 I will say it again�there is nothing like a Mint Tour. Even if you are not a �Mintmaster� or even a coin collector, just the sheer piles of silver bars, tables full of silver strip, and the mountains of silver �waste� are just wonderful to see. Probably the best part is watching the big crucibles pouring the melted silver into thousand-ounce �billets.� In addition to a complete tour and explanation of the minting process, this year�s visitors to the Annual Audit and Inspection were treated to watching actual Silver Libertys being minted! And of course, no tour is complete without a visit into the vault to check out the pile of gold and silver Libertys that back up the Liberty Dollar. Who had such a treat? Well, on September 12, Tom Power, Chief of Operations and Warehouseman for the Liberty Dollar; Ada Loper, CPA and Auditor; and Bernard von NotHaus, Monetary Architect were joined by Sarah Bledsoe, the Manager of the Fulfillment Office for NORFED, Jason Pratt, board member and his wife Kelly, Jim Gleixner, Associate; Tricia Andrews, and Lawrence Ashdown and the noted photographer and Associate, Fredric Lehrman. Fredric was even permitted to photograph inside Sunshine for the first time. We hope to show you some of his pictures soon. After the tour, Tom, Ada, and Bernard signed the Annual Audit Report, which was witnessed by Sarah and Jason. The Annual report is now posted at http://www.libertydollar.org/html/audits.asp# . Any Associate can join the fun of the Annual Warehouse Audit and Inspection. Every September, a small group of six Associates and their spouses travel to Coeur d�Alene, Idaho to witness that the gold and silver is really stored as certified by Sunshine, NORFED, and the CPA. Every year there are holdovers as more than six people usually apply. So if you want to go, please think ahead and send your request now. I think this is one of the best tours anywhere, and in five years, nobody has left disappointed! ******** I mean damnit, the man is not only doing audits; he's letting people who are circulating the currency come see the stuff. When will e-gold be audited, and will Tristan, John, Graham, Jim, Ragnar, Patrick, Paul, et al be GoldVac'd (tm) in to witness the occasion? Also cool to note from the audit is that in August 8,228 ounces of silver and 35 ounces of gold were redeemed for ALD certificates. <drool>8,228 ounces of silver ... 35 ounces of gold ... </drool> Frank --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use e-gold's Secure Randomized Keyboard (SRK) when accessing your e-gold account(s) via the web and shopping cart interfaces to help thwart keystroke loggers and common viruses.
