At Winnipeg’s prestigious Canadian mint, you will be taken on a behind-the-scenes tour of a world-class, state-of-the art facility. The Mint has manufactured 55 billion coins for over 75 countries, and you will be able to watch the entire process from melting down the metals to stamping the blank with an image. During this event, you will truly experience what it is like to be in the presence of mountains of money.

The Corporation states “We are committed to and will attain our vision to be the best mint in the world...”

“The Royal Canadian Mint makes a great effort to be the best mint in the world and it is truly rewarding to have our commemorative circulations coins recognized as the world’s best by the international currency community" said Ian E. Bennett, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint.

Here are some reviews from tripadvisor.ca.

“Just driving up to this building is a pleasure. All the flags along the winding drive up to the most beautiful architectural building, leading into a pleasant walkway by a spectacular pond and fountain. That’s all before you even walk through the doors. They have extensive tours and a fabulous gift shop. I go there every year in July. You get to meet people from all over the country (world actually). Go visit, you would NOT be disappointed.”

“When we were there....., an RCMP guard brought out a real gold bar to hold from a safe in the gift shop. It's attached to a chain––very cool to people of all ages. How often does one get to hold a $500,000 bar of gold?”
