The Original "Ameros" Now
Manufactured On Denver Mint Press
A
2008 Amero coin sales ended 31 December 2008. 2009 Amero coins are now on sale.
CLICK HERE to view and purchase 2009 Amero coins produced on a Denver Mint press.
Our initial offerings are two Amero commemoratives--2009-dated renderings of the
popular 2007 seated Liberty and 2008 winged Liberty head Amero designs. The new
2009 coin art is the "riding Liberty" design. More sizes and shapes will be introduced
throughout the year.
Amero coins are designed by noted sculptor Daniel Carr, of Designs Computed and DC
Coin. Carr created the winning first designs of the 2001 New York and Rhode Island
state quarters issued by the US Mint.
It is anticipated all 2009 Amero coins will be produced on a Grabener coin press from
the Denver Mint, acquired at auction. The press, number GK MP 360 / 31824, was
manufactured in Germany in 1986. It went directly into service at the US Denver Mint,
where it was employed to strike all of the mint set coins, commemorative coins, and
medals produced at the Denver Mint from 1986 to approximately 2001.
When the Denver Mint ceased production of commemorative coins in the late 1990s,
the press became surplus. It was sold at auction in 2001, and then sat disassembled
and collected dust for six years in a warehouse outside Denver. Moonlight Mint
acquired it in early 2007 and completed the restoration in December 2008.
Finalizing the restoration and development process, DC Coin/Designs Computed and
AmeroCurrency.com needed a prototype coin to refine the process. As a result, the
1/10th ounce gold A100 Amero coin was created in proof and matte finishes. All the
2008 una_100g_2008_mt and una_100g_2008_pr sold and distributed were
manufactured on the Grabener. These were the only Amero coins produced on the
press in 2008. Again, all 2009 coins are expected to be pressed using this machine.
As all previous Amero coin issues have appreciated in value to date, it is possible
these few coins will appreciate considerably more. This information was not made
public until 1 January 2009. We hope we delivered more than our loyal clients who
purchased these coins expected.
