History of the Mint The Royal Hawaiian Mint was founded with the first economic research paper "To Know Value" issued on September 11, 1974 by Bernard von NotHaus. Originally named, The NotHaus Mint, the name was changed in 1976 to The Hawaiian Mint and then changed again in 1985 to the Royal Hawaiian Mint. Bernard leased RHM to PRI when he retired in 1999 after being the Mintmaster for 25 years. Since that time he has devoted his time and money to the Liberty Dollar that is dedicated providing Americans with a currency that will protect them from the collapsing US dollar. In 2007, the RHM was leased to Bud Gregory of Pacific Mills who now operates the Mint in Honolulu. Please look for additional RHM products when you are in Hawaii. Currently, Bud has a new Mint building under construction that you will be able to visit when its complete in the fall of 2008. Now in its 33rd year, the Royal Hawaiian Mint remains true to its original motto: "Dedicated to preserving Hawaiiana in precious metals." |
