Made of “15 mg. of 24-kt gold and 15 mg. of .999 pure silver” - the silver “miraculously recovered from a bank vault found under tons of debris at Ground Zero” - the medallion sells for $29.95. Of that, the mint promises to donate $5 to “official 9/11 family charities and memorials.”

The company can easily afford to be so cynically charitable. The Journal News newspaper had the precious metals analyzed and discovered they were worth about 32 cents.

As I said in the post, people can decide what to waste their money on for themselves. I think this is grave robbing.

Nobody's robbing anybody anymore than numerous other advertising gimmicks are....the customers are willingly buying them.
