U.S. Mint of Denver Tours let visitors explore the inner workings of a United States Mint facility and learn about the history and manufacturing operations behind the creation and distribution of United States currency. The Denver Mint facility was opened as a private mint in 1860 following the state's 1858 Gold Rush and remained in private operation until its consolidation into the United States Mint in 1895. Today, it is the world's largest producer of coin currency, creating over 50 million circulating and commemorative tokens each day. Visitors can enjoy 45-minute guided tours of the mint Monday through Thursday mornings and afternoons and view coin-making operations up close and personal. Tour slots are only available with same-day reservation, so visitors are advised to arrive as early as 6:00am each morning to secure tour reservations.
