He I 11^ llJctll could make watch chains, necklaces. V/liO nTHQC collar buttons, rings, almost anything mrMTr‘5/ anybody wanted. • liiUIlLy But in the 18.10's what many people wanted was money. The Piedmont gold rush was in full bloom and although hundreds of Carolinians had gold dust and gold nuggets, not many of tlicni had money. There just weren’t enough coins to exchan,ge for the gold. And|the Philadelphia mint was too far away to be of much help. So Christopher Bechtler took it upon himself tosolve the problem. He opened a mint in 18.11. It was an instant success. People (locked from all over to have their dust and nuggets converted to coins. And Bechtler not only manufactured stand.ard $2.50 and $5.00 gold pieces, but he also made gold dollars. The first gold dollars in the country. The federal officials knew' about Bechtler's mint. But they didn’t discour age him. His integrity was flawless. And i his coins were actually of better quality 1 than liie government’s. ; And so the mint operated for several years, convert- ' ing millions of dollars w'orth of gold into coins. i Today, only a few Bechtler coins remain as a tribute j to the man who had the imagination to develop the only privately owned mint in the history of Southeast ern United States. But the real tribute was given long ago. By the peo ple who put their gold, and the government that put its trust, in his hands. Tile imagination and the integrity of Christopher Bechtler h'jlped make this area great. .And it is in that spirit that Duke Power is working today for an even greater Piedmont.
