The Dublin Mint Office (2)

The Dublin Mint Office is currently leafleting people on the register of electors. This is not a mint office of the Irish State. It is a private company that produces literature that just happens to look quite official, especially to elderly people. I'm sure they do not intend to impersonate a genuine government mint office, it's just that some people might mininterpret the literature.


They are offering to send a 'gold layered' coin of Michael Collins for €9.95



It sounds like a good deal, if indeed the 'gold layered' coin is actually worth €9.95, which I doubt. However in only one place in their speil, on the part of the form you sign and return to them, is it stated

...as a future benefit, I will be sent further commemoratives in the Fight for Irish Freedom Collection to view on approval and without obligation, at approximately monthly intervals at the realease price of €39.95 (plus €5.95 P&P)


You are entering into a contract to 'view' several of these items at a cost to you of €46/month, if you buy.


Even if you return the monthly coins, and it does not state that these are even 'gold layered' like the first, you will still be liable for their €5.96 P+P and your own return postage costs, presumably registered and it doesn't say for how long that could continue.

In my opinion, even if you forfeit the €12 or so a month to return their 'coin' they will still be in profit as I would be of the opinion that their P+P charge will more than cover the cost of producing the 'coin' and any other costs associated with running their international business. It is all perfectly legal of course.
