Abstract: This collection request is for the United States Mint to conduct the second phase of research study that aims to inventory the various multi-year spend trajectories (e.g., spend increases substantially, spend decreases substantially, customer stops purchasing altogether, etc.) observed in the United States Mint customer base and to understand the factors that contribute to these trajectories. The first phase of this study has already started and consists of qualitative in-depth interviews. This second phase uses the responses from the first phase to inform a web-based quantitative survey.
