About
Pastmint | Where Coins Tell Their Real Story
Pastmint is an educational project that explores historical coins as evidence of real life how people traded, traveled, trusted, feared, celebrated, and built societies using money.
We don’t talk about coin prices, selling, or collecting advice.
We focus on meaning: why a symbol was placed there, what a ruler wanted people to believe, how trade shaped empires, and how everyday people used coins as part of their daily routine.
What You’ll Find Here
- Coin Meanings: symbols, portraits, animals, and hidden messages
- Everyday Money: how ordinary people used coins in markets and streets
- Roman Coins: propaganda, power, and identity stamped in metal
- Ancient Trade: routes, ports, merchants, and the economy behind coins
Why Pastmint Exists
A coin is not just a piece of metal. It’s a historical document you can hold.
Pastmint exists to make coin history simple, accurate, and enjoyable—so anyone can understand the story behind the design.
