THE U.S. MINT's TELEVISION ADVERTISING

Phil Carrigan writes: "My wife, Mary Clare, saw this first on
the tube and had me watch it, undistracted!

The US Mint advertises on network TV!  They show persons involved
with coins who are called numismatists.  Their subjects show many
characteristics associated with diagnosable mental illnesses.
I first wish to disassociate myself with the term numismatist and
then with the US Mint.  Once I recover from these, I hope to compose
myself sufficiently to ask my Congressman why my tax dollars are
used for such ads."
