Heaton and Sons (Birmingham Mint): List of Coins Minted (Page 3 of 3)

Heaton and Sons (Birmingham Mint) (1850 - 2003)

The Birmingham Mint, a coining mint, originally known as Heaton's Mint or Ralph Heaton & Sons, in Birmingham, England (known as The Mint Birmingham Limited after 1879), started producing tokens and coins in 1850 as a private enterprise, separate from, but in cooperation with the Royal Mint.

In later years, the plant became increasingly busy with the introduction of the Euro within the European Union; the mint produced several million €1 and €2 coins. However, a slump in trade and contractual agreements between them and the Royal Mint resulted in the sale of the mint in late 2003.

The Mint was acquired by JFT Law & Co Limited who still produce and sell commemorative coins and medals from a website. Substantial parts of the plant and machinery were subsequently purchased by an Indian company, Lord's Security Mint Limited. The Pobjoy Mint purchased the newest high speed presses plus new tooling.
