Soho Mint - A World First! We are here with a thoroughly modern web site to celebrate the achievements of Matthew Boulton who died two hundred years ago in August 1809. But a modern website is no anachronism; Matthew Boulton was at the leading edge of technology and innovation in his own time. So here, as a tribute to a great man, we will look at Matthew Boulton, and the Soho Mint; how Mr Boulton fitted into the great scheme of things, how the Mint was established and worked, and what it produced.

The British Association of Numismatic Societies is the national organisation which represents numismatic societies throughout the United Kingdom. It exists to promote the study of numismatics by bringing these societies and their members together to share and increase their interest and expertise in coins, tokens and currency. What else does BANS do? BANS holds an annual weekend congress, organised by the local numismatic society, in a different attractive place each year.
