History of post boxes.
In 1653, the first post boxes are believed to have been installed in and around Paris.
By 1829, post boxes were in use throughout France.
The first public post boxes in Poland were installed in Warsaw in 1842.
A post box originally installed in the wall of the Wakefield Post Office is dated 1809 and believed to be the oldest example in Britain.
It is now on display at the new Wakefield Museum.
In the British Isles the first red pillar post boxes were erected in Jersey in 1852.
Roadside wall boxes first appeared in 1857 as a cheaper alternative to pillar boxes, especially in rural districts.
In 1853 the first pillar box in the United Kingdom was installed at Botchergate, Carlisle.
In 1856, Richard Redgrave of the Department of Science and Art designed an ornate pillar box for use in London and other large cities.
In 1859 the design was improved, and this became the first National Standard pillar box.
Green was adopted as the standard colour for the early Victorian post boxes.
Between 1866 and 1879 the hexagonal Penfold post box became the standard design for pillar boxes and it was during this period that red was first adopted as the standard colour.
The first boxes to be painted red were in London in July 1874, although it would be nearly 10 years before all the boxes had been repainted.
In 2012 to celebrate Olympic gold medals for Team GB, selected boxes are painted gold.
One has been vandalised briefly with graffiti.
One has been painted in the 'wrong' town.
The first public letter boxes (post boxes) in Russia appeared in 1848 in St. Petersburg.
They were made of wood and iron.
Because these boxes were lightweight and easy to steal, they disappeared frequently; later boxes were made of cast iron and could weigh up to 45 kilograms. 
In 2005, the following coins were introduced for circulation: 
Although the U.S. Mint maintains that there is no widely accepted and standardized numismatic industry definition of "first strike" coins, First Strike coins definitely exist in the coin industry.
Still, they are recent developments, having been first promoted in 2005.
The most frequently promoted First Strike coins are American Gold Eagle coins, American Silver Eagle coins, American Platinum Eagle coins, and the new American Gold Buffalo coins.
One often seen definition of First Strike coins calls them "the first coins struck from a new set of dies."
Another calls them "near-perfect specimens produced within the first few hundred strikings in an edition."
The U.S. Mint's production and distribution practices challenge both definitions.
The U.S. Mint does not track the order in which it mints coins during their production and does not segregate or specifically identify the first coins minted from a set of dies.
The Mint produces up to fifty percent of the projected sales of new coins weeks prior to their release.
Further, the Mint does not necessarily ship coins in the order in which they were minted, thereby making it impossible for promoters of First Strike coins to know that the coins being promoted as First Strike are actually the "first coins struck from a new set of dies."
The numbering on the boxes of coins shipped from the Mint are for accounting and inventory purposes only and do not reflect the order in which the coins were minted.
No U.S. Mint First Strike ProgramThe U.S. Mint has no First Strike program for the minting and distribution of its coins.
However, the Mint sometimes does "first strikings" of new coins, but the "first strikings" are ceremonial and usually consist of only two coins, which are not set aside but are put into the regular inventory of the new coins.
It is probably from these ceremonial strikings that promoters came up the idea of First Strike coins.PCGS and NGC First Strike CoinsThe premier coin grading services that grade First Strike coins are Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation).
These two firms' positions on First Strike coins more clearly explain what First Strike coins really are.
The PCGS website does not discuss First Strike coins, but does post the U.S. Mint's position.
However, the NGC website designates as First Strike those coins that were shipped from the U.S. Mint within the first month of their official release.
PCGS says that for coins to be labeled First Strike, they must be received within thirty days of commencement of shipping (or have documentation that "proves" that the coins were shipped during the first thirty days of a coin's production.
)NGC does not assert that the coins eligible to be labeled First Strike are among the first coins struck but are coins shipped within the first month of release.
Further, NGC includes in the First Strike category "coins of early or first release.
A general term for these coins is first strikes.
"In reality, the NGC position on First Strike coins offers the best definition: coins of early or first release.
While First Strike coins may be from the first strikings of a new set of dies, in reality there is no way for graders or promoters of First Strike coins know that the coins they are promoting were from the first strikes of new dies.
First Strike Not TrademarkedSome websites maintain that PCGS trademarked First Strike.
However, a search of the U.S. Patent Office's website does not evidence that, and a search of the PGCS website did not find any claim of having trademarked First Strike.
NGC asserts there is no trademark for First Strike and that it is a generic term in the coin industry.
