minus-squarehalcyoncmdr@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up39·7 days agoBuying collectors coins direct from the mint always costs more than face value. That’s nothing new or special. The mint violating the law to mint this as legal tender (since they claim they’ll be in circulation too) is the actual story.

He has so many crimes, this is so minor I’d rather focus on the corruption that you can’t opt out of. Just don’t buy the coin.
