Forum:Federal States/FS Mints

Forums → Federal States → Federal States/FS Mints

Hi all, this isn't nearly as consequential as the other initiatives, but I think we should finalize the location of our nation's mints and assays, both active and historical. A quick query reveals there to be 4 mints in the FS: Huntington, the only functional mint, and 1 historical mint in Silverdale, Plainsburgh, and Madawan, each. I really think that this should be a national discussion, rather than something for stateowners to figure out independently because of the logistics behind every mint's locations (precious metal output, accessibility, politicking, etc). Just as a baseline, I made a quick diagram here to show what it looks like for the US:

I hope we can all work together in identifying some locations for the necessary infrastructure and make them canon. --IiEarth (talk) 20:37, 22 July 2026 (UTC)

I'm willing to work on this sort of thing. I put a historic mint in Madawan due to the close proximity to the Asphales (which may have historically had a precious metals craze like the Carolina Gold Rush but petered out soon after due to the annexation of the Cordilleras) and a navigable river. I think something like Swansonville, Dennison, or BarNen might be a good place for a modern-day mint and/or assay? PoisonDog522 (talk) 21:05, 22 July 2026 (UTC)

I agree that we're at the point of maturity in the project to discuss this more robustly, and I also agree that this is a national issue instead of just by claimants. I think two modern active mints is reasonable, although I'd be open to hearing a case for a third. A handful of historical ones are definitely on the table. As for assays, I see no reason that there cannot be even four or five of these still active if strategically placed (or two or three in addition to the two mints).

For disclosure, I had been reticent of Silverdale having an active mint before mostly on the grounds of the lore (recency of statehood, largely native-controlled lands, etc.), but with the change in location, size, and state lore, I would be willing to support it fully. Madawan also makes sense as a historic mint site. I would like to offer Minneuka or Fort Graham, WM as a site for an assay, given the mining output that is present in spots in the heartland akin to the mining belts in western and southern Illinois, Missouri, northern Arkansas, and northeastern Oklahoma. Its location along the rivers and rail would be central to much of the heartland. I don't want a mint or a historic mint site, but an assay has long been on my radar for one of these two cities. — Alessa _(talk) 21:52, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, i think if we go with the 2 mint option, an easat coast for sure, and i think with the growth/more importance and interest from iiearth, i think silverdale can be a good choice for the western mint. Brunanter (talk) 18:50, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

I've added a MultiMap - please add your own historic (red) and active (yellow) suggestions. I added a historic Cosperica site in Sansepulcro and presumably one of the few actives (mint or assay?) in the to be largest city of Cosperica. /wangi (talk) 22:30, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
