  BIRMINGHAM MINT
  

  Dick Johnson sent this link to a BBC News article about
  plans for a museum at the Birmingham Mint. The article
  notes:
  

  "The Birmingham Mint, the world's oldest private coin
  maker, has signed a deal to keep part of its operation open
  as a working museum.
  

  The struggling firm, which first began turning out coins in
  1794, ceased trading in May after running into financial
  problems.
  

  Birmingham City Council has entered into a deal with two
  companies to keep part of the Hockley-based operation
  going."
  

  "Birmingham Mint had employed more than 100 people
  and was one of the largest makers of blank euro coins."

  Dick adds: "Now that it is out of work, can we take up a
  collection for it? I certainly would like to see it continue, as
  an operating mint ... or a museum!
  

  I wonder what Dick Doty would have to say about this from
  his years of study of it."
