These guys make coins. Er. "rounds". Whatever. Except for whenever they make warehouse receipts for gold in a vault in Idaho. They're bearer instruments (remember *that* word? :-)), so, once the coins are minted and sold (at an egregious markup over specie, but, hey, caveat emptor, better than fiat money, in theory...), they don't need records. In theory. Oh. Right. For the tax man. Tax man... Oh. I get it. The *tax* man... Never mind. Cheers, RAH -- ----------------- R. A.
