A mint is an industrial facility that produces coins that may be used as currency.
The history of mints is intertwined with the history of coinage. Initially, hammered coinage or cast coinage were the primary methods of coin minting, with manufacturing runs as low as the hundreds or thousands. Coin dies are mass-produced in modern mints, and planchets are milled into milled coins in the billions.
