The Times, I think it was Joyce Purnick, had a great article about these coins and their creator in Saturday's paper. Check it out.

While the coin makers certainly took profiting off 9/11 to anew level, they really are just taking it to a new level. Everyone, and I mean everyone, seems to have purchased FDNY hats in the subsequent period after 9/11, In most cases, none of that money has gone to any kind of charity (as the coin makers claim to have done) and few have complained that vendors selling FDNY stuff are profiting off 9/11. Why’s that? Also, please note that Spitzer was very careful to say that the coin makers’ claims were “misleading” and not “untrue.” I have seen the commercial many times and the ad itself claims that the coins are only plated, not solid. I have a feeling that Spitzer’s only case is that this sale is “yucky”, but yucky does not equal illegal and I think he knows it. The towers were a temple to sheer capitalism (where I am sure many “yucky” practices were undertaken in the name of money. In their afterlife, why is anyone surprised that they are simply fulfilling the a similar role?
