Circulation coins

Your partner throughout the entire coin life-cycle

We have access to all the tools and expertise needed to produce durable, affordable, high-quality circulation coins. We utilise our knowledge and facilities to guide you through the entire coin life-cycle, from the design process and creation of a new coin to the demonetisation of old coinage. Our service includes advice on improving the durability and circulation lifespan of coins, as well as recommendations on coin security to minimise the risk of counterfeiting. We can also assist you in developing and redesigning your existing packaging configurations.

Once we have designed and minted your circulating coins, we help to optimise the efficiency of your deliveries and minimise the percentage of your capital that is tied up in inventories. You can take advantage of temporary storage for your coins in our secure storage facility. As the final step in the coin life-cycle, we can assist you to demonetise old coinage and can successfully manage alloy recovery programmes for recycling purposes.

Last but not least, we can offer you expert advice on any and all coin-related matters, such as the coin-banknote boundary, risk analyses regarding coin specifications which overlap with those of neighbouring countries, or ways to improve existing coin specifications in order to maximise seigniorage.

Royal Decorations and Medals

Royal Decorations and Medals

For many decades, the Royal Dutch Mint has shown dedication and craftsmanship in developing and producing enamelled decorations in all types of metals: precious metals like gold or silver, but also bronze and other metals, according to the client’s desires. We hold commissions from numerous organisations, both national and international, including the Kanselarij der Nederlandse Orden (Royal Honours and Decorations), various orders of knighthoods, the police and ministries. Our specialists will be happy to assist you in developing a unique decoration or medal. We employ craftsmen who are highly skilled in several specialist techniques, such as the application of coloured glass (enamel). The Royal Dutch Mint is also the best place to turn when you want to design a mounting bar to display your decorations.
