2024 - Winnipeg, Manitoba - 21 of - Royal Canadian Mint - Welcome

The museum visit today is to Winnipeg's Royal Canadian Mint housed in this building designed by Winnipeg architect Étienne Gaboury (1930-2022).

 

Established in 1976 as a high‑tech, high‑volume manufacturing facility, every Canadian circulation coin is produced here.

 

The mint makes circulation coins for 80+ countries around the world. The longest running contract is with Barbados.

 

The mint can turn out 15,000,000 coins per day.

 

Due to their weight, no coins are distributed by aeroplane. Distribution is by auto, rail or ship.

 

The visit by tour only (45 minutes) and no photography is permitted.
