Coin & Mint News Launches This October

Currency Publications Ltd (CPL), publishers of Currency News™ and Cash & Payment News™, will be launching a new monthly newsletter – Coin & Mint News™ – this October.

It will be the only news source dedicated specifically to circulating coins, the minting industry and the numismatic community, and will join CPL’s portfolio that, in addition to Currency News and Cash & Payment News, also includes the Directory of Currency Suppliers, the Directory of Circulating Coins and periodic industry reports. CPL is also the organiser of the biennial Coin Conference, the next edition of which in Amsterdam from 17-19 October will provide the launchpad for the new newsletter.

CPL has already been covering coins since 2014 with Mint News Quarterly, which turned into Coin & Mint News Quarterly. However, according to Editor Astrid Mitchell, 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.

As a sister publication to Currency News and Cash & Payment News, Coin & Mint News will provide information and analysis on coin design and specification, production and handling technologies, recirculation and recycling, market and issuance trends, industry news, sustainability, machine detection and security, counterfeiting and the use of coins in the cash cycle, as well as public engagement and the large and growing market for commemorative and circulating commemorative coins.

Coin & Mint News is particularly relevant to central banks and finance ministries responsible for coin issue, mints, and suppliers of materials and equipment for the design, production and distribution of coins, although in reality it will provide useful reading for anyone involved in the cash cycle.

As with its two sister publications, Coin & Mint News will be supported by an e-publishing platform where articles and archives can be accessed, along with the online Currencies of the World database (which includes coins as well as banknotes), and a weekly news service.

The subscription model and pricing will be the same as for Cash & Payment News, with a variety of options including premium, enterprise and charter and a 50% discount for all options to subscribers to Currency News. CPL will also be offering a package deal with additional discounts to subscribers who opt for all three publications.
