Sigh. *If you'd ever actually looked at the Mint's web site, you'd
know that the bags of dollar coins are the only thing they sold there
at face value. *You could (and can) buy a bag of 100 quarters, but not
for $25. ...

The scam WOULD HAVE WORKED JUST AS WELL with any coins that were
offered the way the commemorative dollars were offered.

Hmmn. *Is there some way I could write "bags of dollar coins are the
only thing they sold there at face value" that would be easier to
understand?
