Some times the easiest question is the hardest to answer.

Tell them you are willing to provide them with at least $2400.00 per year to cover the cost of answering your incredibly detailed questions. Also, you need to ask if they require Mint Employees to wash their hands after going to the restroom! Do they have video or photographic documentation of every visit to the restroom! Is this documentation available to the Public? This requirement should also be extended to the Private Assayers to make sure no bacterial or viral chemical residue survives the hundreds of degrees melting temperature of the process of providing metal coinage blanks for the minting of the coins!

I am finding this a bit odd, insomuch they have been responsive to other request I have made about their coins/bullion in the past. Would it be premature to assume there is a underlining reason to their silence? ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, February 19, 2005 4:38 AM Subject: Canadian Silver Maple Leaf - Purity Users of the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins in the production of CS. For the groups general information. This is a second request for this information... To the: Royal Canadian Mint. (RCM) ***************************************************************************** "I would like to verify the stated "four 9", (9999), (99.99%) purity of the Five Dollar Silver Maple Leaf coins. Could you please respond to these questions about the purity of the silver, and the % of content of other minerals, you use in minting your five dollars Silver Maple Leaf coins. Are assayer samples taken and tested for purity for each run of minting of the coins? Are assayer samples & testing done for each year of mintage? Are any of these reports available to the public? How can I get a copy of these reports for each of the years these coins have been minted?" Thanks, Ron *************************************************************************** I will post any replies when received...
