International partnerships

On February 5, 2009, at the World Money Fair in Berlin, a precedent-setting international partnership was announced. The Polish Mint (Mennica Polska) and the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) set up a program to grade the mint's new commemorative coins as well and establish a submission center at the mint in Warsaw, Poland. The new program will facilitate the submissions of Polish and Eastern European collectors and dealers for both vintage and modern world coins.[3]
