Birmingham Mint Though it Nota Government Estab- lishment- ' ln no respect is Birmingham more cosmopolitan than in its supply of coin. Money can be had by anybody, in any quantity-for a consideration. The Birmingham Mint, though it turns out millions of English coins, is~not a Government estsblishrxwnt, and in the way of supplying the “n_e0dful" to foreign -Governments has-probably done more _than any money-making establishment in the world. By thi§»impartial distribu- tion of we_alth,Mt‘sars_ .Ralph Heaton and Sons have built up a splendid and highly profitable business. A few days ago the firm shipped tha first instalment of it huge Egyp- tian order for ten million piastres. The consignment weighed Gve tons, and was co veycd in some 60 cases. In the old arncy days a ship con- taining among its cargo coins valued at 83,000,000, would have been a prize W_orth having, und would not have passed unchallenged. In these Piping times of pence the vessel trips oil to Alexandria without* molesta- tion. It is noteworthy that this valuable order was won in upon com- petition against Vienna and Bcrlin, and other similar orders are likely to follow.- _ ' ‘ Enormous Demand. For well over a century l3irming~ hnrft has taken a loud in this litvrni kind of money-making. As for buck as 1787 thu famous i\'latthc\v Boul- ton coined undvr contract for tha British Government 4,000 tons ol copper coin valued at about £800,- 000, and “Brummngum haifpr-nco” were in the early part of lust cen- tury almost. as widely famed' as “Brummagem jewelry." 'I‘he Soho _.M.ini:....run.by Boulton and Watt, was completely wiped out in 1857, and was replaced by 'tho present much more extensive establishment, and for many years afterwards this was tho only mint in England ox- ccpt the Royal, Mint. in -London. Further enlargements became neces- sary to meet the enormous homo and foreign demands, and among tho countries and Governments which have como time after time to Birm- ingham for their money are India. Tunis, Canada, Turkey, Chinn, Hong °Kong, Hayti, Sarawak, Tuscany, Vonezuola., and Chili. ‘ Chlnsso Order. _ In some instances, notably that of China, the coins were not made in Birmingham. As a, mutter of fact, no Chinese coin has, so far as is known. avsr be`en,made outside thc Celestial Flmpiro. '1‘he_prido and pro- judice of the Chinese hid tofbe hum- ored, so that ,firm sent out a. coin- pleta plant with' men to operate it, and the coins were struck in Chino. No fewer than eight separate plants have been sent out to China. in this way. The some thing -was done in Milan in 1862 for the new kingdom of Italy, some 1,600 tohs of "blanks" being shipped to furnish the raw material. Again, in Mar- seilles, when the re-establishment of thc Empire under Napoleon III. ren- dcrcd necessary a new copper coin- age, some 750 tons of metal were in this way 'turned into money on French soil; The total value of these two descriptions of coin approxi- mated to n. million sterling. Historical Coins. Much of thc work done by th`o firm is‘of great historical interest. For example, in 1859, the year of the Italian war with` Austria, tha pro- vincial Governmcnt of Italy dotcr- mincd to replace tha Grand Ducal copper coinage by one of their own, and these coins were made at the Birmingham Mint. On the obverse wore the arms of-tho King of Sar- dinia, with the legend _ "Vittorio Emnnuello Ro`Elctto." and on tha reverse, "Govtyno della Toscanol' ' with the valus and tha date in tha contra. When Tuscany became sub- ject to Victor Emmanuel, as part. of United Italy. this coinage was super- svdcd by that of the new King, coin- ed in Milan as described above. In 1868 the Italian Government. order- od ilva million lirc in pieces of tan contlmos, ind in consideration of the sxcellant manner in which those and other coinagsai .worse cxocutod His HaissE:;King Vlvtor Emmanuel conferred honor of knighthood an tha Brin. ’ stasis; sims.
