Rochester Coin
In 1906, the Chamber Of Commerce decided to showcase the city’s manufacturing and innovation prowess, with an all-encompassing slogan to represent the integrity, heritage, and strength of Rochesters industry. The result: ROCHESTER MADE MEANS QUALITY. In the desire to advertise this slogan far and wide, the Chamber chose a familiar yet vital part of our landscape, High Falls, as a visual. The Genesee River and our three water falls are the reason we exist, and continue to endure as a community.
At the time of campaign launch, Rochester was not only host to a global heritage in flour and flora production, but also a growing powerhouse in brewing, distilling, tailoring, shoemaking, food science, photography, optics, specialized manufacturing, printing, and research and development. We were quickly demonstrating this new moniker in more ways than the Chamber could have imagined.
Whether you are born-and-raised here, started a business here, moved here, or are just passing through, your experience will most likely be a positive one. This little marketing phrase gains new meaning as time marches on, growing into an all-encompassing rally for us lucky folks who have known this little slice of paradise. This coin represents that experience: for you, for us, and all those who carry this reminder that however long you spend in Rochester, it’s well worth the time.
While Rochester may get lumped into the country’s Rust Belt, we lack the iron or steel industrial heritage to truly adhere ourselves to that title. Choosing a metal to mint this coin then becomes a more challenging. With it’s flexibility in use, strong resistance to corrosion, and intrinsic value, copper is a natural fit to further represent the slogan and the meaning behind it.
Carry this coin as you travel, give it to friends and family when they stop by, or send it with those who move away. This coin is a promise, that however you come to know this city and what it has to offer, the memories created here will be made with quality.
