Northwest Territorial Mint: Insights & Ideas
Shot Show coin
Hot Topic: The Trade Show Coin

A few trade show regulars have found a new way to make an impression when greeting visitors to their booth. Instead of a business card and throw-away brochure, they offer a real custom coin made specifically for the show, with their contact particulars minted on the reverse. Those coins are kept as souvenirs and definitely do not get thrown away.

Northwest Territorial Mint: In The News

Cupronickel

Northwest Territorial Mint: Did You Know?Cupronickel is an alloy of copper, nickel and strengthening impurities, such as iron and manganese. Cupronickel does not corrode in seawater, because its electrode potential is adjusted to be neutral with regard to seawater. Because of this it is used for marine hardware, and sometimes for the propellers, crankshafts and hulls of premium tugboats, fishing boats and other working boats. The cupronickel alloy technology has been known by the Chinese since the 3rd century BC under the name 'White copper' (some weapons from the Warring States Period were in copper-nickel).
