Greedy and downright inconsiderate.

What were they thinking?
Oh wait! I know! "What can we do to make money off of this! Oh! OH! I KNOW! Lets make an ugly coin, say the government endorses it, and say that the silver is from Ground Zero! We will be rich!!!!"

Anyway, I'm going to call them to complain.
I encourage all of you to at least write a short email to them to complain about how rude and insensitive this product is.
If you do contact them please be mature about it. It does nothing to just shout obscenities at them.

How the hell can you recover that amount of silver from Ground Zero??

They didnt

And is it just me or does that freeom tower design thing look like a carrot on its end with a bite taken out of it?

"The silver used in each gleaming dollar coin is from Ground Zero! You see, when the Twin Towers fell on September 11, 2001, a bank vault full of .999 Pure Silver bars was buried under hundreds of tons of debris. After months of salvage work, many of the bars were found. Now, the same silver that was reclaimed from the destruction has been used to create the magnificent 2004 “Freedom Tower” Silver Dollar."

Which is absolutley rediculous. That's how they plan on attracting customers to buy their product.

That's sick. People like those seriously need to be shot.

I never said I believed it. That's just the excuse they're giving.

I saw a commercial for that a few days ago. It turns out that the thing isn't even a real U.S. coin...Look what the US Mint has to say:

“Freedom Tower” Is NOT a Legally Authorized Government-Issued Coin

here's an excerpt from that article:

WASHINGTON – The United States Mint is alerting consumers and the public about a new product whose television, print, and online advertisements incorrectly describe as a “legally authorized government issue” coin. This product, which purportedly commemorates the World Trade Center and the planned new Freedom Tower, is not a genuine United States coin or medal.

It'd be cool if the proceeds went to a 9/11 fund
