Dawn of the new millennium?

[Philip Madsen]

To the FRANKLIN MINT HTTP://www.franklinmint.com   I notice that you are promoting New age medals as though the New or 3rd Millennium dawns on Jan 1st  2000.   This is now a serious error or a case of misrepresentation for profit.   Any school kid who studies arithmetic knows that the year 2000 is the LAST year of the 20th century, and the end of the second Millennium, not the beginning of the third.   Just as the 1st Century began at 1AD and finished at 100AD so also did the 20th century start at 1901 and finishes in the year 2000.   Two millenniums represent 2000 years. No one can say that 2 millenniums are 1999 years.   Basic arithmetic lesson:   1 to 10        is equal to one decade. 1 to 100      is equal to one century. 1 to 1000    is equal to one millennium.   As a suggestion, to avoid your being sued for misrepresentation, all may not be lost.  You could no doubt sell all this stuff as a valuable collectors item representing the biggest boomer the world has ever made.   Certainly many are making the same mistake, but voting on it cant make 9 equal to 10.   Regards Philip Madsen.
