<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 210908, member: 1824&quot;]Clinker,it sounds like that the coining presses were put on a back of a ship to get them over here.They must be huge pieces of equipment to have required taking the windows off the front of the building to get the coining presses inside.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know of any plane that can lift 400 tons of equipment.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is interesting that it will be the Pitcairn Islands who will be getting their medal-coins struck there.I can guess that the New Zealand Mint will go down the same route as the Pobjoy Mint - producing heaps of medal-coins depicting subjects that have no connection whatsoever with the issuing country - like the Crowns from the Isle of Man that were issued in 1976 to commemorate the Bicentenary of U.S. Independence,for example,or the Cook Islands medal-coins depicting Garfield the cartoon cat.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
