Mints
A mint is a place or facility which manufactures coins for currency. On the whole, the history of mints correlates with the history of coins. One difference is that the history of the mint is often more related in to the political situation of the day. For example, when discussing the history of the New Orleans Mint, the usage of that mint by the Confederate States of America beginning in 1861 comes up quickly. The origins of the Philadelphia Mint, which began operations in 1792 and first produced circulating coinage in 1793, are most often related within the political context of the time.
