United States Mint, Denver

The Denver Mint was established as a branch of the United States Mint in 1906 and operates the coin production facility at this site. The facility at 320 West Colfax Avenue produces circulating coinage, commemorative coins, and coin dies, employing industrial coin-striking presses and metallurgy processes that have evolved since the early 20th century. The Mint's presence in Denver reflects the city's role in scaling U.S. minting technology for Western circulation.
