[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 2503267, member: 307"]I think that the story of the very beginnings of the United States Mint would be great. In 1793, the Mint wanted to coin gold and silver, but was unable to because the bond was too high. The Congress had to change the law, and President Washington needed to help put up the money, but because of this bond law, it wasn't until 1794 that the Mint was able to make silver or gold coinage. Only copper coins were made by the US Mint in 1793.[/QUOTE]
