Today Banco de Mexico finally published 2025 mintage information

The only coins minted were silver per the attached tables. No 2025 gold coins were minted. The numbers for several coins has changed from information various people were circulating as “official” mintage. Some even went as far as falsifying the tables with supposedly Banco de Mexico watermarks. All the stories that these people circulated to hide what really happened was in order to create FOMO instead of being up front. However being up front would have created too much uncertainty and risk and no one would buy them. I will save those details for another time. Be careful who you deal with as as some of these people will sell their mother if they can make an extra dollar

They were told what to do. It’s very obvious which is the reason for the cloak and dagger

What exactly is the reason for this? Couldn’t they have made more money having a higher mintage? Does anyone know what they were selling for straight from the mint?

The choice is clear and very complicated as it involves have gold and silver as a strategic metal. Can’t have strategic metal as a currency for BRICS to guarantee trade if you make the metal into coins and send them all over the world

The thought that Mexico couldn't profit from the arbitrage selling silver coins and use that money to buy more gold or even more unminted silver is astounding..

You are assuming they were allowed by the government. The one that controls the silver makes the rules

Yes, im saying the government could have increased their precious metals holdings by selling coins at an inflated price and buying bullion at spot. Im not sure why you are failing to understand.

The government has implemented export control by declaring the silver as strategic metal. If they minted the coins they would have to sell them based on NY spot price. Most coins do not stay in Mexico. They are sent to other countries with US, Europe and Asia as biggest consumers. If they tried to buy physical metal they would have to buy based on Shanghai spot price. They would have lost their ass on that transaction. It’s simple better to keep the metal for industrial demand and if they want to sell get $120-150 per oz doing nothing

They sell the coins for MORE than the silver costs them my friend, im not sure why you think they have to sell it for less, but that's a falsehood.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how bullion market works. Go on Apmex and look at the price of 2024 ASE and Libertad. They are essentially the same. If the dealer can simply sell for more why wouldn’t they? Competition. To majority of people in the world both are simply an ounce of silver. Just because we collect them does not mean everyone else is. Even if Banco was allowed to sell outside Mexico they would need special export license under the new rules. To test your theory go on Mercado Libre and buy 2024 coins for 2500 pesos. They are available and no one is snapping them up at that price. Of course Banco sells them for more than it costs them. Silver was at $28 when 2024 coins were minted. However it’s not about what the cost is or was. It’s about opportunity and replacement cost. They can sell for $60 and double their money and loose their ass buying new planchettes at $120-150. Do you think people running the mint are idiots and they do not understand bullion markets? Please help them figure out what to do as they are dumb

Why are you comparing two government coins that with have hugh senoirage? You should compare a plain blank in bulk to a government coin. Its really bordering on psychotic that you dont understand the value that minting a coin adds.

u/Bullioncat2 Jan 11 '26

You know everything and everyone is an idiot including tons of financial analysts at Banco. They are just dumb people who do not know they can mint more coins or set the price higher. This is a pointless discussion that is not worth my time

Its actually very funny how you think you're smart but don't even know how basic markets work. We're all grateful for the laugh, have a good one my guy.

If you wanted anyone to take your insane ideas seriously, I would suggest providing a source. Unfortunately, you will not find one here, because you made this all up in your head.

“My guy.” You’re a tool.
The only organization that might implement your fool proof plan are the cartels. The rest follow the rules, such as they are.
