About Me

Merrick Mint is an American company that turns genuine U.S. coins and currency into collectible pieces. Operating from a facility in New York and selling directly through merrickmint.com, the company has been in business for over 30 years and describes itself as a pioneer of colorized currency. Rather than making replicas or novelty tokens, Merrick Mint starts with real, legal-tender U.S. coins and banknotes, then enhances them with full-color artwork, 24K gold plating, black ruthenium finishes, or holograms. The company says it develops over 1,000 new products a year, with a catalog spanning more than 1,400 colorized coin designs alone, plus colorized currency, a Chinese New Year "Lucky Money" line, and unaltered collectibles like original U.S. Mint coin rolls and star notes. Every enhanced piece remains genuine U.S. legal tender underneath the finish. Many products ship with a Certificate of Authenticity, and the company backs orders with free shipping and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
