	Dahlonega, Georgia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dahlonega Gold Museum sits in the exact middle of the town square, in the old Lumpkin County Courthouse built in 1836.
		Dahlonega was the site of a United States Mint branch mint between 1838 and 1861, when Confederate troops seized the facility and operations ceased.
		The mint at Dahlonega was a small operation, usually accounting for only a small fraction of the gold coinage minted annually, and it was deemed unnecessary to reestablish the facility after the Civil War.

	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Gold Rush
		Between 1805 and 1832 the state of Georgia held lotteries to distribute land seized from the Cherokees and Creeks.
		There was sporadic interest in mining Georgia gold on a commercial scale throughout the twentieth century, and the spirit of gold fever is still strong in the region.
		Expressions of that spirit are visible all across north Georgia: the old Lumpkin County Courthouse, built in 1836, today houses the Dahlonega Gold Museum; thirteen ounces of gold covers the steeple of North Georgia College's Price Memorial Hall; forty-three ounces of gold covers the dome of Georgia's state capitol.

		The Branch Mint at Dahlonega was one of three mints chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1835.
		The opening of the Dahlonega Mint coincided with the removal from Georgia of the last Cherokee Indians, whose word for yellow, Talonega, gave the town its name.
		The director of the United States Mint in Philadelphia complained that the institution in Dahlonega was a "neighborhood mint." Certainly, it was in the thick of politics.

	Dahlonega Gold History
		Dahlonega and Charlotte coins often have a green-gold cast, due to the alloy's high silver content, and are typically weakly struck on irregular planchets.
		Because most Georgia gold was more pure than the standard of fineness (.900), the normal practice was to leave in the naturally occurring silver, rather than parting the silver from the gold, prior to adjusting the fineness downward to.900.
		The Dahlonega Mint positions were very political, with changes often being made upon a shift in a political party's power in Washington, a situation that caused much internal conflict among the mint personnel.
