The Mint

The Mint refers to a facility where coins are manufactured by a government. It is responsible for producing legal tender that circulates within an economy. The Mint designs, creates, and sometimes sells coins for collectors, as well as producing currency for daily transactions. Each country typically has its own Mint, ensuring the coins meet specific standards of weight, size, and metal composition. Additionally, some mints may also produce paper money, medals, or bullion coins. The operation of a Mint is crucial for maintaining the supply and integrity of a nation's currency system.
