More BS. Who stops selling anything because of demand.

The U.S. Mint is temporarily halting sales of its popular American Buffalo 24-karat gold coins because it can't keep up with soaring demand as investors seek the safety of gold amid economic turbulence.

Rumours are the Australian mint sold forwards contracts and had to stop minting because some of the contracts demanded delivery
Maybe the US mint did the same ?

Pretty soon they're going to be calling them back home to the mint and the Fed.  The USA is going to have to prop the dollar somehow, and notice how several of the European central banks are stopping gold sales too.

1933 anyone?

Mint is also stopping sales of affordable gold like half ounces and quarter ounces
