US Mint

Category: Sight

Of the four US Mints in the US, only Denver and Philadelphia offer tours where you can literally witness the actual coin minting process. The Denver Mint is a branch of the United States Mint established in 1862 that is today operational and produces coins for circulation, as well as mint sets and commemorative coins. The Denver Mint is the single largest producer of coins in the world.

Reservations are required for all tours. Tour reservations can be scheduled through this web site, or by visiting the Reservations Booth at the United States Mint Visitor Center located on Cherokee Street between 14 Avenue and Colfax Avenue in Denver, Colorado. If space is available, walk-up tour reservations will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. As such, there may be days when walk-up tours are not available.

All United States Mint tours are free of charge. Guided tours start on the hour and are available from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday (excluding federal holidays). We encourage you to submit your request as early as possible since a limited number of tours are available. All visitors should call the 24-hour tour information line at (303) 405-4761 to determine if any last minute changes have been made to the tour schedule.
