I apologise for any misunderstanding, it's a long-standing personal mistrust I have for any business that calls itself a misleading name.  A quick Wikipedia shows: A mint is an industrial facility which manufactures coins that can be used as currency.

No misunderstanding on my part, but I think wilspeak then saw my "alarm bells" comment out of context.

As regards names, be careful if dealing with the Edinbugh Mint, for example https://www.nominet.uk/whois/?query=edinburghmint.co.uk&cc-num=#whois-results

The last time I spoke to them was with someone called Gary.

Gary McNabb sold it in 2012 to Simon Harding I believe..

 LawrenceChard , You made a good point >> "I do believe people should be aware that they are not a mint, and not owned by the New Zealand government." Because I did think the NZM was a Government Mint. Thank You for informing me of that fact that the NZM is not govt owned and operated. This is the  first silver  coin in the Star Wars faces of the Empire series has arrived to join my silver and gold stack. I do think the box could be of better quality

Did you see who the domain name is registered by?

 

[HillWalkerDundee]

Yes, i saw the tag. Then i looked at companies house and the list of directors. Is that Lawrence Chard not you? Is this a case of passing off?

Yes, that's me. In case Scotland goes independent, it might need its own mint, so that could be my part-time retirement job! 🙂

[StackemHigh]

Not one for me. Not a bad design but plenty of star wars stuff out there now.

Change that to when Scotland gets independence 🙂

I am even more confused. I still can't see what you were getting at. I must be thick. The tag is not an issue. All ISPs have to have a tag, mine was Scotz.

I'm looking forward to seeing or hearing the results of the next once-in-a-lifetime Scottish Independence referendum.

As Robert the Bruce is credited as saying "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again".

Yes, the tag says Chard, and the domain is registered to me.

I was attempting humour when I mentioned the domain name in relation to alarm bells or caution.

Most humour is lost if it needs explaining.

If i see some of your coindesigns it would be fun to let you take design desicions for the Scottish Mint. A smartminted coin of your avatar would surely be an earthquake in the collectors world. Not sure if someone will buy it, but there would be not much space for talking about other new issues

There was never ever a "once-in-a-lifetime" referendum. Rather like QE2, it doesnt exist here 🙂

Do you mean to tell me that we should not believe that politicians tell us?

My neighbour summed up why independence is a good thing. He said "all policians are b@stards but they will be our b@stards and we can kick them out any time".
