ROYAL HAWAIIAN MINT: Founded in 1974 by Bernard von NotHaus. ?Almost from the very beginning of the Mint, von NotHaus was drawn to create a new currency for Hawaii.? This initial aim was to include paper money. At its operational height, the Mint had seven different locations, with a main branch in Honolulu. In my personal communications with him, von NotHaus stated that he eventually ?did over 700 issues in 25 years as Mintmaster?. During his longstanding quest, he conducted extensive reviews of various economic models, currencies, and financial systems, interspersed with a series of pecuniary experiments. His design process, development, and research continued until 1997, culminating in ?a pet project? called the Hawaiian Sovereign Currency; this was a full-fledged proposal which was meant to exemplify a law-abiding, value-backed currency. But shortly thereafter, he devised NORFED and his blueprints ?morphed? into a new undertaking, the Liberty Dollar. Though von NotHaus retired from the Mint in 1998, this is not to say he left the numismatic scene altogether (far from it! He now heads the aforementioned NORFED, as detailed in one of my foregoing listings, in which the story picks up where this one leaves off).
