The Mint is actually the last link in a chain that launders foreign gold,
much of it illegally mined, for an insatiable market.
The Mint buys gold that originates in a Colombian drug cartel mine.
It makes Lady Liberty coins out of gold from Mexican and Peruvian pawn shops and from a Congolese mine that is part-owned by the Chinese government, records show.
Some Mint gold has come from a company in Honduras that dug up an Indigenous graveyard for the ore underneath.
