Michael is a fellow CSUF grad and owner of Michael Berman Coinage, Numismatic, and Bullion Art & Design. We talk about his journey that lead him to design work on different curriecies, some of his work he can actually talk about in more detail for the House of Mouse, and even a guitar pick made out of silver for Fender.
