Royal Canadian Mint
Ottawa, Canada
The Royal Canadian Mint is a striking facility located in downtown Ottawa, known for producing Canada’s coinage and commemorative medallions. Opened in 1908 and featuring an impressive granite façade, the Mint also houses a visitor centre where you can see the processes behind minting, including the handling of raw materials and the striking of coins.
Plan to spend about an hour here, which allows for a guided tour and a chance to see the massive gold bullion bar in the display. Nearby, the National Gallery of Canada and the ByWard Market provide additional cultural entertainment and dining options, making for a well-rounded visit.
