By The Way: Minting And Mining Are Not The Same Thing

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010 by Vbhotla

We’re in the process of reviewing Second Quarter LDA filings (due yesterday!), and while preparing for an analysis of the issues that had the most filings, I discovered a typo in the drop-down “issue code” selection – the issue code “Minting/Money/Gold Standard” is misspelled “Mining/Money/Gold Standard” in the drop-down menu.

Be aware of this in the future – minting and mining are two very different issues. I would assume the “/Money/Gold Standard” portion of the issue code would tip off a filer, and most LDA filers are probably well aware of the codes. But it doesn’t hurt to do a quick review of all the codes before you make your filings, to ensure a good-faith effort at accuracy.

I did tip off the SOPR to this issue, as well, so this may be changed before you even need to worry about another filing. Happy preparing for the LD-203! (Isn’t July great?)
