Simply place a blank (or coin-shaped) piece of metal between two steel dies-and then smash them together with incredible force. “Coins have been made pretty much the same way for millennia,” says David Blumenfeld, director of business and product development. It is expected that the schedule of events that are planned for each month will be announced in early January 2019.Osborne Coinage has been making coins in Cincinnati for nearly 200 years, and less has changed in that time than you might think. That celebration will be held on Courthouse Square. Plans are underway for the bicentennial’s opening celebration. “As the population of Ohio grew and new counties were organized, Auglaize County was created from part of what was once a much larger Shelby County.” “Indeed, Shelby County too was originally much larger than it is today,” Barhorst said. “Originally, the land that became Shelby County was part of what was once a much larger Miami County. “Believe it or not, Shelby County was ‘born’ on April Fools Day in 1819,” Barhorst said. Shelby County’s near year-long bicentennial celebration will begin April 1, 2019. Coins may be purchased at the same three locations including Peoples Federal Savings & Loan, Mutual Federal Savings Bank, and the Ross Historical Center.
Only a few of them remain, and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Those sites include Peoples Federal Savings & Loan, Mutual Federal Savings Bank, and the Shelby County Historical Society. The coins that have been preordered will be available at the site pre-selected by the individual making the order. “Mary Beth did a great job of taking our ideas and creating a coin that will still have meaning two hundred years from now!” “Freedom is represented by Shelby County’s flag, families by a mother, father and children, farms by a barn, and, industry by three interconnecting gears,” Guillozet said.
It also includes stylized images for families, freedom, farms and industry. The other side of the coin contains the names of Shelby County’s current villages and lone city. That side of the coin also contains the four words that the Bicentennial Committee believe best represent Shelby County: freedom, families, farms and industry. Guillozet went on to explain one side of the coin contains the year of the County’s founding (1819) and the year of the bicentennial celebration (2019). “Mary Beth used the graphics from the bicentennial logo in the coin design,” Shelby County Commissioner Bob Guillozet said. The coins were designed by Mary Beth Monnier, president of Creative Marketing Strategies, with input from the Bicentennial Committee. The coins are currently being readied for distribution, and will be available for pickup beginning Monday, Dec. 999 fine silver coins were minted by Osborne Coinage of Cincinnati.
