United States Mint, Philadelphia - the nation's first federal mint facility

The Philadelphia Mint traces its institutional origins to the Coinage Act of 1792 and is the nation's first federal mint facility. The current Philadelphia Mint facility and its visitor center on Independence Mall continue the city's long role in U.S. coin production and numismatic history. The Mint produces circulating coinage, coin and medal dies, and other official numismatic products for the United States. Its foundational role and continuous operation are documented by the U.S. Mint and federal records.
