<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 11382128, member: 31773&quot;]I believe that most of the coinage, at least in the early days of the mints, was done to order. A customer would come in with high grade ore / nuggets / etc and deposit it at the mint, which would process the ore and mint coins as requested by the customer. The process was paid for with part of the gold through seigniorage. I don&#039;t know how long this lasted at each mint, but someone probably has access to the records of the various deposit customer orders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
