Tell me how this works. The Mint gives them paper $ and Goldmark sends them Gold?

The gold used has to be mined from American sources. I suppose that the Mint pays them in USD and Goldmark has a source for US-mined gold and ships them the blanks. Remember that the Perth Mint (Australia's national mint) makes a lot of gold coins as well.
