Shire Post Mint

We are Shire Post Mint, a small, family-run coining operation located in Arkansas, USA. We specialize in licensed fantasy coinage, but we make lots of other things too.

Shire Post Mint began in 2001 when Tom Maringer bought his first antique coin press. The techniques used for hand-engraving steel dies and pressing one at a time are the same used in the 1800s and earlier.

Shire Post Mint has grown into an internationally recognized company known for attention to detail and a high level of craftsmanship, all while still being super nerdy! We craft coins from officially licensed properties including JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings™, George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire™, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth™, Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn©, Conan© the Barbarian, and Patrick Rothfuss’s The Kingkiller Chronicle™. Our original designs include Moons, Pizza Coins, Decision Makers, Bowling Ball Worry Stones, and more.
