2015 WORLD MONEY FAIR TECHNICAL FORUM

Not to be confused with the American Numismatic Association's "World's Fair of Money", the annual World Money Fair is a trade expo for the coin manufacturing industry - wall-to-wall with engineers and managers from the world's mints and their suppliers. Ursula Kampmann attended the recent event and filed a report in the March 19, 2015 issue of Coins Weekly. Below is list of talks from the Fair's Technical Forum. See her complte article online for more information. Sounds like a fun event for the true coin geeks among us. -Editor

Technicians from 21 companies, 18 talks thematically grouped into 9 units, and countless representatives of national mints. That was the Thursday afternoon programme at the World Money Fair. Dieter Merkle (Schuler Pressen) and Thomas Hogenkamp (Spaleck) once again put together a true tour de force showing off the minting industry’s latest innovations. Since each and every talk demanded undivided attention from its audience, the afternoon programme, which came to an end with a slight delay, left its listeners exhausted.
