Imperial mint

An imperial mint is a government-operated facility responsible for producing official coinage and precious metal bullion for a country. It ensures the integrity, standardization, and security of currency and valuable metals, often handling the refining, stamping, and distribution of coins. Historically, imperial mints played a key role in establishing a nation's monetary system, and today they continue to oversee the production of coins used for everyday transactions and collector items, maintaining consistent quality and trust in the currency.
