What to expect
The Denver Mint is a branch of the United States Mint that produces coins for circulation, as well as mint sets and commemorative coins. The mint is still operating and is the single largest producer of coins in the world. The Denver Mint has a rich history, dating back to 1862 when it was established as an assay office. It began producing coins in 1906 and has been in operation ever since. The mint is located in a building that was designed to resemble the Medici-Riccardi Palace in Florence, Italy, and it stores a significant portion of the country's gold reserves. Visitors can take a tour of the mint to learn about the process of minting coins and the history of the facility
