Northwest Territorial Mint: Insights & Ideas

Hot Topic: The Trade Show Coin

A few trade show regulars have found a new way to make an impression when greeting visitors to their booth. Instead of a business card and throw-away brochure, they offer a real custom coin made specifically for the show, with their contact particulars minted on the reverse. Those coins are kept as souvenirs and definitely do not get thrown away.

Northwest Territorial Mint: In The News

First Steam-Powered Coin Press

Northwest Territorial Mint: Did You Know?Devised and built in France in 1833, the first steam-powered coin press was operated at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia on March 22, 1836. It quickly replaced the screw press in striking all copper coins and was gradually used to mint half dollars as well. In his report to President Andrew Jackson the following year, the Mint's Director, Robert Maskell Patterson, wrote: "As [other steam presses] are completed, the coining by human labor could be abandoned, and the work that can be executed. in the Mint will be greatly increased."
