Po dlhšej sérii článkov o významných slovenských osobnostiach som sa rozhodol pre menšiu zmenu. Vedeli ste, že na Slovensku máme mincovňu s najdlhšou nepretržitou prevádzkou na svete? Dokonca sa zaraďuje do skupiny najdlhšie fungujúcich spoločností na svete, no v tomto meradle jej nepatrí prvenstvo. Len pre zaujímavosť, v súčasnosti najdlhšie funguje japonský hotel Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan a to už od roku 705 čo znamená, že tento rok budú oslavovať neuveriteľných 1310 rokov prevádzky. Rekord v tomto smere drží japonská konštrukčná spoločnosť Kongō Gumi, ktorá fungovala až 1428 rokov (578-2006).
Vráťme sa však späť na Slovensko. Dňa 17. novembra 1328 uhorský kráľ Karol Róbert z Anjou udelil Kremnici mestské výsady, čím sa z osady stalo slobodné kráľovské mesto. Súčasťou výsad bolo aj privilégium na zriadenie mincovne. Prvými minciami, ktoré sa v Kremnici razili boli známe zlaté dukáty. Obsahovali veľké množstvo zlata vďaka čomu sa stali najtvrdšou menou v rámci strednej Európy. Údajne ich v Kremnici vyrazili až 21,5 milióna kusov (cca 250 000 dukátov ročne). Zlaté dukáty sa ako platidlo razili až do roku 1881
Od roku 1499 sa razili aj strieborné toliare. Zhruba v tomto období sa začalo aj s výrobou medailí. Vôbec prvou známou medailou kremnického pôvodu je medaila na korunováciu Ladislava II. ako dieťaťa z roku 1508. Fanúšikov hokeja určite zaujme, že v Kremnici vyrobili napríklad aj medaile pre hokejový šampionát, ktorý bol na Slovensku v roku 2011.
V časoch Rakúsko-Uhorskej monarchie mincovňa v Kremnici najväčšia a najmodernejšia v rámci monarchie. Hoci existovali aj mnohé menšie mincovne, tie však postupne zanikli a zrazu malo Uhorsko len jednu jedinú mincovňu. Od roku 1892 sa v monarchii zaviedla nová korunová mena, samozrejme drvivá väčšina mincí bola razená v Kremnici.
V novodobej histórií sa tu razili mince aj pre Československo či následne pre Slovensko (koruny aj eurá
, ale aj pre exotické krajiny ako Bangladéš, India, Srí Lanka či Arménsko. Vďaka najmodernejším technológiám dnes dokážu vyraziť až 413 milónov rôznych mincí ročne. Kremnická mincovňa je od roku 1955 chránená ako národná kultúrna pamiatka.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
