The Money Museum at the Federal Reserve Bank and the Denver Mint
Trip to the Denver Mint and Federal Reserve
HI Friends, this video is about my trip to Denver in which I stopped by the Denver Mint and the Federal Reserve. As as coin collector I've wanted to visit these for a while. If you are ever visiting city which has either a mint or a Federal Reserve I would recommend stopping by. Unlike most of my videos, this doesn't show any specific coins. This is mostly a video of me walking around. Enjoy!

David Croft, Denver Mint Manager, introduced Treasurer Rosie Rios who praised the Mint staff for making the event possible. Three gold bars weighing 400 ounces each were unveiled with a market value of almost $2 million. These gold bars will now be part of the public tour route for visitors to the Mint.

Reserve Bank Museum - The MONIAC
Reserve Bank Museum - The MONIAC
A pioneering econometric computer Invented in the late 1940s by talented New Zealand-born economist Bill Phillips (1914-1975), the pioneering econometric computer on display in the Reserve Bank Museum uses water quantities and flows to simulate the flow of money through the economy.
New Zealand economist Bill Phillips invented the MONIAC in the late 1940s as a way of demonstrating the macro economy to his students at the London School of Economics. He built the prototype for around £400, including parts scavenged from a Lancaster bomber.
The acronym MONIAC – 'Monetary National Income Analogue Computer' – was apparently invented to echo the ENIAC digital computer then being developed in the United States.
By contrast with those machines the MONIAC operated wholly on analogue principles, using water to simulate flows of money. Around 14 were built.
The MONIAC was capable of making complex calculations that could not be performed by any other computer at the time. The linkages were based on Keynesian and classical economic principles, with various tanks representing households, business, government, exporting and importing sectors of the economy.
Water pumped around the system could be measured as income, spending and GDP. The system was programmable, and experiments with fiscal policy, monetary policy and exchange rates could be carried out.

Denver Mint suspends coin sales after violent sale
The Denver Mint said it suspended its sales of the 2014 Kennedy Half-Dollar Gold Proof Coin after a crowd violently rushed to get in line Thursday.
US Mint
When the framers of the U.S. Constitution created a new government for their untried Republic, they realized the critical need for a respected monetary system. Soon after the Constitution's ratification, Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton personally prepared plans for a national Mint. On April 2, 1792, Congress passed The Coinage Act, which created the Mint and authorized construction of a Mint building in the nation's capitol, Philadelphia. This was the first federal building erected under the Constitution.
Since our institution's founding in 1792, the men and women of the United States Mint have taken great pride in rendering the story of our nation in enduring examples of numismatic art. To hold a coin or medal produced by the U.S. Mint is to connect to the founding principles of our nation and the makings of our economy.
Here and abroad, people cherish our products because they are stores of value as well as exquisite encapsulations of America's ideals. In forms designed to be passed from hand to hand and saved from generation to generation, the coins we mint reflect our shared history and traditions. Whether it is learning to count with pennies, understanding the value of saving through the weight of a piggy bank or remembering the coin toss at your first football game, coins connect us to many of our fondest memories.
Perhaps most importantly, the United States Mint connects us with the core values of America. From the great promise of our E Pluribus Unum credo beneath the banner of Liberty, each coin is a small share in the ongoing American Experience, linking us in an unbroken line to our country's—and the Mint's—origins in the Constitution.
Since Congress created the United States Mint on April 2, 1792, it has grown tremendously. In recent history, circulating coin production has varied between 4 billion and 10 billion coins annually. In Fiscal Year 2010, the United States Mint generated a record $3.89 billion in annual revenues. As a self-funded agency, the United States Mint turns revenues beyond its operating expenses over to the General Fund of the Treasury.
Original Footage from the Denver Mint, 1934
I found this video in the MIRC archives. It provides an interesting glimpse into the final phases of the minting process from the Denver Mint in the 1930s.
This video features uncut footage of U.S. Mint Director Nellie T. Ross visiting the Denver Mint during the Great Depression. Mrs. Ross served as U.S. Mint Director from May, 1933 to April 1953.
The footage shows the area of the Denver Mint where newly minted 1934 Buffalo Nickels and Lincoln Cents were inspected, counted, placed in Mint bags, weighed, and prepared for shipment. The nickels were placed in $50 Mint bags; the cents were placed in $20 Mint bags.
Note the overall lack of safety equipment on the machinery, as well as the U.S. Mint Policeman armed with a shotgun.
This footage in this video was recorded on September 10, 1934 by Fox Movietown News, and was retrieved from the MIRC (mirc.sc.edu). I attenuated segments of the audio track, and removed what noise I could. I also added a title and credits to the video, and adjusted the white balance throughout the video to provide more consistent whites and grays.

Museum of American Finance Opens New Exhibit: “For the Love of Money: Blacks on US Currency”
New York, NY – In honor of Black History Month, the Museum of American Finance has opened “For the Love of Money: Blacks on US Currency,” a traveling exhibit on loan from the Museum of UnCut Funk.
To be featured on currency is among the nation’s highest honors. The Treasury’s latest redesign – which will feature Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill beginning in 2020 – will acknowledge for the first time on paper money the contributions of Black and women’s rights activists in advancing American democracy. There is a longer tradition of honoring such leaders through the creation of commemorative coins, medals and medallions. Through legislation, Congress has chosen to honor on US commemorative currency Black icons, seminal historic events and institutions which have significantly influenced American and Black history.
“For the Love of Money” honors barrier breaking Black athletes, entertainers, civil rights leaders, military leaders and politicians, and it features the historic contributions of several prominent Black women. The exhibit showcases more than 40 anti-slavery tokens, commemorative coins, concept coins, commemorative bronze medals, Presidential bronze medals and commemorative medallions representing American and Black history milestones that have contributed to the betterment of the United States. Additional coins and medals will be added to the exhibit as they are released in 2017.
More information can be found at moaf.org/fortheloveofmoney. This exhibit will be on view through January 2018.
