Sheds New Light on the Bible

December 4, 2006--The Historic Mint Company has launched its first family-oriented, educational TouchHistory™ collection, Coins of the Bible and the Holy Land, according to Founder and President, Donald J. MacKay. The Historic Mint provides high quality replicas of significant historic coins for collectors and gift givers.

Coins of the Bible and the Holy Land is an amazing replica collection of 30 historic coins mined from the pages of Holy Land history. Since 370 B.C., the city of Jerusalem has been captured over 30 times. With each new conquest, new and unique culture and coinage was introduced into the Holy Land.

Every coin in the Coins of the Bible and the Holy Land collection is an exact replica of the actual coins that circulated in the Holy Land for a period of over 2,500 years, from 510 B.C. through 1968 A.D. (beginning with the Persian 'Daric,' introduced into the Holy Land during the 6th century B.C. Persian conquest of Jerusalem and ending with the modern Israeli 'lirot' commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem in 1968).

All 30 of these professionally researched replica coins have been expertly and skillfully minted to approximate the size, weight and color of the original coins. Each set of 30 coins comes with a thoroughly researched, entertaining and beautifully illustrated 168-page reference book detailing the historical facts and fascinating stories behind each coin. These reference book stories come to life through the colorful and dramatic paintings of the great art Masters. A beautiful collector's coin album accompanies each 30-coin set along with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity, suitable for framing, guarantees the artistic quality and historical accuracy of the Collection.

Each coin in the Coins of the Bible and the Holy Land collection has been selected for its historic, educational and biblical value. The collection features the "Six Coins of Scripture," the only coins to be either mentioned or referred to in the Bible, and includes such famous coins as the Judean "Widow's Mite," the Judean "prutah," (the coin of Pontius Pilate), and the Judas betrayal "30 Pieces of Silver" coin.

"The Coins of the Bible and the Holy Land collection brings families together and is a great way to introduce kids to important history and the rewarding hobby of coin collecting," said Mike Callie, Co-Founder and V.P. of Marketing for The Historic Mint. "It is a collection you can build upon and keep coming back to for years to come. This collection is truly educational and inspirational and makes the perfect gift for the entire family to enjoy."

"The Mission of the Historic Mint is to educate, enlighten and entertain those who love history, whether they are Bible students, history scholars, beginning hobbyists or serious collectors. Our collection puts history into peoples' hands where they can see it, touch it and connect with it in a way that personally inspires a far deeper understanding and appreciation," said MacKay.

The collection is now being offered for a limited time at the pre-publication price of $89.95. A Spanish version of Coins of the Bible and the Holy Land will be available in 2007. Future TouchHistory™ collections from The Historic Mint will include: The Great Explorers: Coins of the New World (1492-1776), Coins of Early America (1776-1793) and Coins of Judaism (538 B.C.--1968).
