Before It Became History | John Hull and the First American Mint: A Bold Step Toward Colonial Self-Reliance

Long before the United States had a national currency, John Hull helped establish the first mint in colonial America. Discover how one silversmith’s work shaped commerce, trust, and economic life in the colonies.

Before It Became History, a podcast series from the Sandra Day O’Connor Institute, explores the people and moments that shaped the American story. Each episode looks beyond the legend to examine the decisions, conflicts, and ideas that tested the promise of liberty and helped define our democracy.

This is history before it hardened into memory — and a conversation about what it means for us now.
