ABOUT

US Mint

The nation's first mint in Philadelphia makes circulating coins, commemorative coins as authorized by Congress, and produces the dies for stamping coins and medals. Established in the 18th century, the mint was constructed as part of the Coinage Act, also known as the Mint Act, of 1792. On the US Mint at Philadelphia Tour, groups can see coins being created from 40 feet above the factory floor, meet Peter the Mint Eagle, view seven Favrile glass mosaics by Tiffany & Co., and more. The US Mint at Philadelphia Tour is a fascinating field trip experience for students, scouts, homeschoolers, and campers of all ages and one to remember for a lifetime.
