NUMISMATICS OF THE DOW-DUPONT CHEMICAL COMPANIES
My interests outside of numismatics include the history of science, technology and business, With the proposed merger of the Dow and
Dupont chemical companies, the legacy of two of the oldest firms in the United States are now in flux. Hopefully their collective
archives will remain intact and preserved for future historians.
What are the numismatic aspects of these two companies' history? Medals, scrip? If anyone knows of examples, please send them for next week's issue. Here are a couple from each company found by a quick web search. -Editor The DuPont Lavoisier Medal
The DuPont Lavoisier Medal honors men and women throughout the history of DuPont whose extraordinary technical achievements have resulted in significant business impact and enduring scientific value. It is an appropriate tribute that the medals awarded to outstanding scientists and engineers in DuPont bear the name Lavoisier. In scientific thought, in dedication to theory, observation and experimentation, in the breadth of efforts in public service, they are all both honorable and brilliant.
