在英国推行货币定期重铸制度期间,铸币师形成了一个人口规模不大的社会群体。他们多出身于手工业者和市民阶层,主要负责货币的铸造和兑换;他们职业生涯较长,且可以在不同铸币厂之间流动。同时,国王授予的特权和赠予的财富以及在货币铸造与兑换中的获利,使得他们拥有大量的财富和较高的社会地位。故在中世纪英国的城市里,铸币师被认为是除王室官员之外最重要的社会群体。
During the implementation of the regular recirculation system in the United Kingdom, the moneys formed a small-scale social group. Most of them came from handicraftsmen and civic classes, and were mainly responsible for the casting and exchange of money; they had a long career and could flow between different mints. At the same time, the privileges and gifts granted by the kings, as well as the profits made in the casting and conversion of the currency, gave them a wealth of wealth and a higher social status. Therefore, in the medieval cities of England, moneys were considered as the most important social group in addition to royal officials.
