<p>[QUOTE=&quot;halfcent1793, post: 5416859, member: 86853&quot;]The Mint was organized in 1792 and began striking copper coins for circulation in early 1793. The required bonds were covered in 1794, and silver coins were struck that year. Gold coins were struck beginning in 1795. In the earliest years, the mint was under the State Department, so its director reported to Edmund Randolph, Secretary of State after Thomas Jefferson&#039;s resignation in 1793.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
