English: occupational name for a moneyer, Old English
myntere, an agent derivative of mynet ‘coin’, from Late
Latin moneta ‘money’, originally an epithet of the goddess Juno
(meaning ‘counselor’, from monere ‘advise’), at whose temple in
Rome the coins were struck. The English term was used at an early date
to denote a workman who stamped the coins; later it came to denote the
supervisors of the mint, who were wealthy and socially elevated
members of the merchant class, and who were made responsible for the
quality of the coinage by having their names placed on the coins.
