U.S. Mint of Denver Tours offer a unique opportunity to explore the workings of the United States Mint, showcasing the history and manufacturing techniques behind the production of American currency.
The mint was originally established in 1860 as a private mint facility in response to the 1858 Colorado Gold Rush and became a United States Mint facility in 1895. Today, the facility is the world's largest producer of coins, crafting more than 50 million tokens per day, including circulating and commemorative coins.
Free 45-minute guided tours of the facility are available during the morning and afternoon hours Mondays through Thursdays, with the exception of major national holidays.
As tour slots are only available for same-day tours, visitors are advised to arrive at the mint's information window as early as possible to secure slots on daily tours during peak travel seasons.
