U.S. Mint Website Down

Some portions of the U.S. Mint's website have been unavailable since at least 7:00 AM ET this morning.

When trying to access the home page the following server error is displayed.

Server Error

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

JRun closed connection.

However, I have found that certain internal pages of the website are still available if you have a direct link to the location. For example, if you directly navigate to the Online Catalog, the website appears to be functioning normally.

No word yet on the cause of expected duration of the problem, but hopefully it will not be a repeat of the seven day outage in January.

Update: As of 10:00 AM ET, the website is back up.
