Startup Stories with Shire Post Mint

52 W Main Street,West Fork AR 72774

27 October, 2022

Description

At this month's Startup Stories, we'll get to know the founders of Shire Post Mint, the family-owned fantasy coining operation based out of West Fork, AR, specializing in licensed fantasy coinage. Their technique of hand-engraving steel dies and pressing one at a time are the same used in the 1800s and earlier. Their work caught the eye of Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin, who was interested in having coins made from his new series of books, A Song of Ice and Fire. Since then, 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'll provide refreshments and snacks and hear the founder's story about building a world-renowned business and bringing the fantasy world to Arkansas. Costumes are encouraged and prizes will be given out to those who dress for the occasion! 🧙‍♀️🧝‍♂️🧌 Startup Stories Series Startup Stories, formerly known as Venture MashUps, are a series of events that bring together the entrepreneurial community to connect over a beverage and a bite while learning from inspiring entrepreneurs.
