We have a lot in the pipeline here at the Cohen Mint.
A lot of our time, money and energy goes into developing new products, very often
ones that are simply not available anywhere else. Its how we brought you the
extremely popular Rhodium line of coins and bars.
The Rhodium products were the result of more than two years of constant
development, experimentation, trial and error and a lot of money spent. Just when we
thought we figured something out, a new and unexpected problem would crop up,
often making the brand new machinery we had just ordered and received obsolete.
Back to the drawing board, back to the tool maker. We have crates of equipment we
will never use that was ordered or custom created in our never ending efforts to
create a product that you want, but cant get from anyone else.
This obsession with perfection continues. Heres whats in the works for 2010. All
release dates are approximate.






Jan 2011 -
During the past year we ran a series of experiments in the attempt
to strike coins made from pure Iridium and Ruthenium. We tried
many combinations and permutations of different factors, and
every time the result was the same: imperfect coins that simply
cannot be sold commercially.
At the present time we have discontinued further pursuit of
making coins out of Ir and Ru, apologies to all those who would
have enjoyed owning such coins. Our technical inability, together
with the relatively low market price make investing further time or
money into this project currently unsuitable. People wishing to
purchase small quantities of Ir or Ru sponge (powder) for
collecting purposes are welcome to contact us, we have limited
amounts available and are happy to fulfill requests.
Here is what we have lined up for 2011:
We are in the process of contracting with a new die engraver to
produce the high quality sculpted dies we need going forward.
The company we've been using for the past year, while reliable, is
unable to keep up with our demands. We're doing our best to
shorten the time it will take us to settle with a new company, but
this is going to delay the arrival of several important projects we
had hoped would already have been ready.
1 Oz Rhodium coin - pictured above.
Once we've settled on a competent die engraver, this is the first
coin scheduled to be released this year. From this point, we're
hoping to have it ready during the first quarter of this year.
Diameter for the 1 oz Rh coin will be 38mm and will come sealed
in an airtite container inside of a highly polished fine hardwood
display case - bulk purchases will have the option of coming
without the case to save money. ANACS is excited to have a look
at the coin and is expected to slab them just as they already are
able to do with our 1 gram rhodium coins.
After that, we will be releasing a series of coins in platinum and
palladium, as interest in these metals has spiked during the final
half of last year, and is showing no signs of abating. Designs for
Pt and Pd coins are currently in the earliest stages.
We are continuing to focus on our Rhodium rings project, and
have been in talks with several major distributors about carrying
the jewelry. It will also be available for sale on the website
www.rhodiumdreams.com
We'll keep you up to date on any other developments.
Update Mar 2011
The dies for the rhodium 1 ounce coin are complete, we should
begin production very shortly. We will also be posting the new
designs for our line of 1 oz coins on this page as soon as they are
ready. They will be:
Platinum
Palladium
Gold
Silver
Rhenium
in addition to the rhodium.
Rhodium ring sales have taken off dramatically on our
rhodiumdreams.com website.
Talk to you soon!
