The Birmingham Mint [...] was established in 1794 [...] using second-hand coin presses bought from the estate of Matthew Boulton.

Err, is this right? To me "bought from the estate of Matthew Boulton" means they were bought after Boulton died, but he lived until 1809 according to Wikipedia's article on him. If it's meant that the presses were bought from Boulton himself then the opening sentence needs to be clarified. -- Arwel (talk) 20:27, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
