MDC Online Bridges the Gap for Mints

In normal times, the Mint Directors Conference (MDC) is held every two years, providing an opportunity for discussions, information-sharing and debate within and about the industry.

Thanks to COVID, the 31st MDC, due to be held in Cape Town in April 2020, could not take place. The next in-person event is scheduled to take place in Ottawa, hosted by the Royal Canadian Mint, in October 2023.

But that is a long time for the mint community to be without events to meet up, so MDC Online is being held in the meantime, on 24 and 25 May, to bridge the gap.

According to the MDC, in addition to examining the many challenges the mint community faces and the impact of these on the industry, MDC Online will be an opportunity for the community to forge a path for coins into the future, whether as a means of transaction, a store of value, a token of national pride or an investment for further generation.
