Houston is our country’s fourth largest city and large swaths of it lie in a floodplain. With another killer storm battering the Caribbean as we speak, we thought it would be a good idea to check in with Beaumont, Texas coin dealer Mike Fuljenz, owner of Universal Coin and Bullion, to see how he and his employees fared during the storm and its aftermath. * * * This CoinWeek podcast is brought to you by PCGS.

Philip Diehl was the director of the United States Mint from 1994-2000. During his tenure, he brought wholesale changes to the way the Mint operated, including reforming the commemorative coin program and streamlining the mint's production capabilities. As a private citizen, Diehl has sat on the boards of the Industry Council for Tangible Assets, the Coalition for Equitable Regulation and Taxation, and the Gold and Silver Political Action Committee. His position on precious metals "investing" is nuanced but in favor of it.

In this episode of the CoinWeek Podcast, we depart from our normal fare and talk to David Schirduan, a game designer, whose new game "Clink" uses coins to determine play outcomes and as "in-game" money. We discuss the tactile quality of coins, which coins players should use in the game's "Old West" setting, and the pseudo-philosophy of flippism. Charles also reveals that if he was a game designer, he'd openly embrace paid DLC. It's called capitalism, folks! * * * This CoinWeek podcast is brought to you by PCGS.
