List of mints

Edit links

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about coin mints. For breath mints, seeList of breath mints.

Mints designed for the manufacture of coins have been commonplace since coined currency was first developed around 600 BC by theLydian people of modern-dayTurkey. The popularity of coins spread across the Mediterranean so that by the 6th century BC nearby regions ofAthens,Aegina,Corinth andPersia had all developed their own coins.

Methods used at mints to produce coins have changed as technology has developed, with early coins either beingcast using moulds to producecast coins or being struck between two dies to producehammered coin. Around the middle of the 16th century machine-mademilled coins were developed, allowing coins of a higher quality to be made.

National currencies are generally minted by a country'scentral bank or on its behalf by an independent mint. For example, the coins of theNew Zealand Dollar are minted jointly by theRoyal Mint in the United Kingdom and theRoyal Canadian Mint for theReserve Bank of New Zealand.^[1] Also national mints are sometimes privatised to becomestate-owned enterprises allowing them to pursue commercial interests such as producingcommemorative coins, medals and different types ofbullion.

Today theUnited States Mint is largest mint manufacturer in the world, operating across six sites and producing as many as 28 billion coins in a single year.^[2] Its largest site is thePhiladelphia Mint which covers 650,000 square feet^[3] (6 hectares) and can produce 32 million coins per day.^[4]
