U.S. Mint Strikes Gold with Markertek
Last Updated 9/9/2009
Mitcham, Surrey, UK - Markertek is the Federal Government's choice for all technical field and manufacturing interface solutions. We just supplied the US Mint with cable management products at its facility in West Point, NY. The United States Mint at West Point manufactures the entire family of American Eagle proof and uncirculated coins in gold, silver, and platinum. The gold and platinum coins are manufactured in denominations of one-ounce, half-ounce, quarter-ounce and tenth-ounce varieties, while the silver bullion coins are manufactured in a one-ounce denomination. Erected in 1937, the mint earned the nickname "The Fort Knox of Silver" for the amount of silver coins it produced. In the early 1980’s, the Mint switched gears and began striking gold coins and medallions. Approximately 20 billion dollars worth of gold is stored in its vaults, making it second only to Fort Knox for gold storage. Today, the US Mint at West Point is one of the country's largest producers of US gold coins. Markertek is honored to serve pivotal government agencies such as the US Mint with the technology solutions it needs to keep the world’s economy and currency shining bright.
