(Picture: Gareth Everett/Huw Evans Agency)Soaring demand from investors for physical holdings of precious metals has helped power profits at the Royal Mint to the highest since it became a limited company 12 years ago.
Since then, the Mint has set its sights on becoming a consumer brand, for investors in precious metals, historic coins as well as jewellery and luxury collectible products. The strategy helped it take profits to £18 million in the year to March 31, from revenue of over £1.4 billion.
