US Border Patrol
Hailing America's Everyday Heroes
As an agency of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Border Patrol is chiefly responsible for monitoring America's transcontinental borders with both Canada and Mexico. Border Patrol agents screen all those seeking entry to the United States, ensuring that only those who are lawfully permitted to enter this country are given access. In this capacity, these dedicated men and women serve as front line warriors in America's global war on terrorism.
As a licensed partner of the U.S. Border Patrol, Northwest Territorial Mint is proud to create coins, medallions, and more featuring the organization's distinctive logo. The custom products we create are used as awards, tokens of service longevity, retirement gifts, keepsakes for visiting dignitaries, and much more. The coin featured above, which is struck in brass and finished in antique bronze, illustrates our talent for reproducing images in crisp detail. This is our way of hailing the work of America's everyday heroes.
In January 2007, the U.S. Department of Defense issued a warning about a new espionage threat: spy coins. After it was suspected that Canadian coins carried across the border by American contractors may have contained tracking devices, Defense Department officials confirmed that this method of spying posed a legitimate threat to U.S. interests. In fact, in an official report related to the investigation, the CIA revealed that it had previously used hollow U.S. silver dollar coins to carry top-secret messages and film. (Photo courtesy CIA).
