National Bank of Denmark Inaugurates New Permanent Coin Gallery
September 5, 2012 By Michael Alexander 2 Comments

As the Royal Danish Mint settles into their new home – occupying a section of the production floor previously and exclusively used for the printing of Danish banknotes – the National Bank of Denmark has launched a new gallery of Danish coins featuring all of the coinage produced under the auspices of the National Bank since 1818. Invited guests, including the interior designer of the National Bank’s lobby and the newly appointed Director of the Royal Mint were in attendance to a special reception for the launch event on the 21st August. The gallery, which is a permanent inclusion in the main lobby is a specially built, pressurized, and atmosphere-controlled cabinet which spans the length of the wall it is affixed to and includes all coins minted since the National Bank was made overseer of the Mint, taking over from the Treasury - also the year of the official establishment of the Danish National Bank.

This is a very cool read.

Look at the pics..

I can't believe nobody has looked at this aside from the spiders.

Don't ever call me a spider, Sir. Yes, I knew that the mint moved there a few months ago, and I had seen the note about this new exhibition at its website. But these photos are much better!

They are. They are great! I tell people about the exhibit in Phili and I'm ignored. I don't think most people apreciate just how good such an exhibit can be when it is presented correctly.
