And the Ships Flag is from Liberia and the ore goes to various smelters throughout the world on a regular basis.
So these huge mine operations come in dig up our state and send it around the world.
It would be cool if you could
It would be cool if you could get a coin of just Greens Creek gold, but since no one wants a smelter in their back yard, we send it all around the world to other peoples back yards. They'd keep it local if they could.
