An old printing press that was used to publish one of the first Bolivian papers
A manual minting machine, two men on each side they wind down the print onto the silver then turn the coin over to do it again. Time consuming....
3000 coins a day were made by this manual mint it pressed both sides of the coin at the same time and only required one person so was much more efficient than the other machine.
The mules that were used to drive the silver flattening machines upstairs. What terrible conditions they were kept in.
The silver press machine that the mules drove.
