About Coin & Mint News
The Only Newsletter Dedicated to Circulating Coins and the Cash Cycle
The definitive source of news, analysis and commentary on circulating coins, the minting industry and the numismatic community.
Coin & Mint News™ is the only news source dedicated specifically to circulating coins, the minting industry and the numismatic community.
Reconnaissance has been covering coins since 2014, when Coin & Mint News began life as Mint News Quarterly, later becoming Coin & Mint News Quarterly. Whilst circulating coins have traditionally been viewed as a part of the cash cycle where ‘not much happens’, in reality the pace of development and innovation in the minting industry, and the issues and challenges that coins face, are such that it merits its own dedicated news space on a monthly basis. In 12 information-packed issues a year, supported by a weekly e-newsletter, Coin & Mint News provides insight and analysis on coin design and specification, production and handling technologies, recirculation and recycling, market and issuance trends, sustainability, machine detection and security, counterfeiting, and the use of coins in the cash cycle, as well as public engagement and the growing market for commemorative coins.
Coin & Mint News is published by Currency Publications Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reconnaissance International. Along with Coin & Mint News, we also publish Currency News™ and Cash & Payment News™, along with regular supplements, special reports and directories.
