US Mint celebrates a once-in-a-century event:Gold et al

The number "8" traditionally is associated with wealth and prosperity in Asian cultures. The 8-8-08 Double Prosperity Set features two gold coins inscribed with the year 2008: a one-half ounce 22-karat gold American Eagle Uncirculated Coin and a one-half ounce 24 karat gold American Buffalo Uncirculated Coin. This is the way to celebrate the good fortune in life. Such event bears the signature and chop mark of the United States Mint Director Edmund C. Moy,an American citizen of Chinese ancestry. The content and purity are guaranteed by the US Government. www.USMINT.GOV

US Labor Secretary Elaine Chao used the Web site to declare the Olympics a unique opportunity for the Chinese people to demonstrate the progress they have made and their sincere desire to engage with the world at every level. Cf. "A Glimpse of the Chinese Language" (1965) www.rand.org or www.Amazon.com for reference on page 8 re the same rationale for China to be open to the world and for economic engagement of US-China or Sino-American economics from the 20th century to the 21st century and beyond...with such vision.

Inflation in Asia-Pacific seen rising in 2008 with rants, raves and concerns for the readers to note the previous blogs citing FED Chairman and monetary policy apropos of Sino-American Economics in the days to come.
