The story

Let’s mint some new tradespeople

A couple years ago, my friends at U.S. Money Reserve asked if I’d like to hand-deliver 5 oz. silver coins to surviving members of the Greatest Generation—100-year-old WWII veterans. An absolute privilege to present.

In fact, I even visited the mint in Germany, where those coins were struck, and got a full tour from my friend Oscar—watching raw silver transformed into a work of art. While there, it hit me: a coin series would be a great way to honor America’s tradespeople.

Eighteen months later, I’m back at the mint, witnessing the creation of something special—the Trades of America silver coin, benefiting the mikeroweWORKS Foundation.

It’s nice to work with a company that stands for something.
