Hobbyist New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/17/2012 10:02 pm Does anyone know anything about these guys? Apparently they were in Vegas and went out of business in the 90's? and minted coins for the private sector. I am trying to find out if they minted a coin that I have. Thanks.

Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 01/17/2012 10:54 pm I'm not sure if it's the same company you're talking about, but there was a "Continental Coin Co." based in Van Nuys, California, that manufactured and mass-marketed coins, medals and other numismatic objects under several different trading names. Under the name "New Queensland Mint", for example, they made and marketed a large series of "coins" for Hutt River Province. As I understand it, sometime in the early 1990s, Continental were convicted of mail fraud (selling "legal tender coins" from a country that did not officially exist i.e. Hutt River Province) and went out of business shortly afterwards. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

It is nothing more than a simple wheat and sheep operation. I live about an hour away and I can guarantee you it is nothing special Report this Post to the Staff

(Although the Australian government probably didn't realize they were providing official recognition when they did so.) http://www.hutt-river-province.com/...tt_River.htm Report this Post to the Staff
