Founded in 1792, The Denver U.S. Mint is a branch of the United States Mint and is responsible for manufacturing legal tender coinage and circulating it for the nation to conduct its trade and commerce. The Mint also produces coin-related products, including silver and gold bullion coins, Congressional Gold Medals, and proof, uncirculated, and commemorative coins, and is the single largest producer of coins in the world. Visitors can take a free, guided tour of the mint to see how billions of coins are produced each year and learn more about the rich history of the United States Mint. Tours are strictly for adults and children over the ages of seven, and the Mint’s Gift Shop sells a variety of coins and unique souvenirs.
