A MINT DEPARTURE

"The dot-com world has finally found an executive who really knows how to mint money."

"Philip Deihl, director of the U.S. Mint, is leaving to run Zale.com after helping turn his corner of the federal bureaucracy into a savvy consumer marketer. The online jewelry-sales arm of Zale Corp., of Irving, Texas, is expected to name him President today."

"Though he is eager to get to Zale.com, he concedes he has one possible shortcoming: He wears almost no jewelry himself. "I'm too old-fashioned to wear anything like an ear stud or nose ring," he jokes, "though working at a dot-com may change that."
