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."http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/3037770.stm
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."- 2003-07-27
