250 Years of Liberty

THE LEGEND OF THE FIRST COINSMITH

It all started in a small workshop - one man, a modest set of tools, and a belief stronger than the metal he worked.

With each strike of his hammer, he created more than a coin: he forged a promise.

A symbol of Liberty, shaped in quiet hands, destined to begin a tradition that would endure for over 250 years.

This was the first coin of a young nation - simple, imperfect, and unforgettable.

The moment America’s story was stamped in gold.

THE BIRTH OF A NATION’S CURRENCY

Before America became a united nation, its money was chaos.

Thirteen colonies, thirteen systems. Foreign coins everywhere. Values shifting from town to town. No unity. No trust.

After the Revolution, the new country needed something more - a single symbol every American could hold close and believe in:

This is ours.
This is our country.
This is our freedom.

In 1792, Congress acted with the Coinage Act, creating the United States Mint and giving the young nation its first unified currency.

From that moment, every coin bore one sacred word:

LIBERTY.
