The coining effort was begun strictly for fun and enjoyment! Shire Post coins and stamps are used to lend tangibility and realism to the fantasy worlds of the imagination. There is a sense of place that comes with jingling some coins in your pocket or having a well worn postmarked letter in your pocket, and that sense of place can increase the enjoyment of the fantasy and even provide a source for real-life motivation and ispiration. The many appreciative letters we've received over the years confirm that this idea is more than just a silly hope.

We sincerely hope that your quest to make yourself a better person finds fulfillment wherever your journeys take you.
