COINS – CURRENCY AND COLLECTOR ISSUES
Our factory is equipped with the
latest manufacturing technology and all sizes and metal types
can be produced.
The Commonwealth Mint produces commemorative coins in gold,
silver and cupro-nickel for many countries around the world.
These coins are made in various sizes and our normal production
ranges from a huge 89mm diameter silver coin down to a tiny gold
coin weighing quarter of a gram with a diameter of 8.5mm. Most
commemorative coins however are struck using "Crown size"
specifications - 38.6mm diameter and approximately 25 grams
weight. These issues can be produced specifically for the host
country or we can enter into an agreement whereby these coins
are produced by us and sold to our network of wholesalers and
retailers worldwide, with the host country receiving a
commission for each coin sold. Using this method, the host
country incurs no costs or expenses. These coins are a useful
tool in raising the profile of smaller countries, together with
the added benefits of a likely increase in trade and tourism.
STAMPS
Our Philatelic Bureau has
introduced the same marketing techniques we have perfected with
our coin issues and use these to increase sales substantially
for the host countries. We are able to give very competitive
prices for regular issue stamps to be used for postage and if we
become involved with commemorative issues, we will generally
produce these and market them to our network of agents with a
royalty paid for each stamp we sell. With this system, there are
no costs incurred by the host country who are paid on a royalty
basis. Printing costs can be expensive and we absorb all
marketing and production costs so that our host countries have
no risk and receive regular royalty payments from us.
