Anyone else have any ideas? Lee may be right about the free publicity angle but I still think it's worth a shot. 500 sets is 50 grand that's $1.95 in chips & a $3 holder for a mere 100 bucks. The US mint wishes they could make that much profit. Hey don't they always operate in the red? Maybe they ought to contact the Lodge. I'll write anyone I have to but you have to understand this is a major profit margin unless they are stuck with these they are not going to budge.If they get away with in once you have not seen the last of it.
