About the U.S. Mint

usmintThe United States Mint was created by Congress in 1792 and became part of the Department of the Treasury in 1873. It is the Nation’s sole manufacturer of legal tender coinage and is responsible for producing circulating coinage for the Nation to conduct its trade and commerce.

The U.S. Mint also produces numismatic products, including proof, uncirculated, and commemorative coins; Congressional Gold Medals; and silver and gold bullion coins. The United States Mint’s numismatic programs are self-sustaining and operate at no cost to taxpayers.

Since Congress created the United States Mint on April 2, 1792, the primary mission of the Mint is to produce an adequate volume of circulating coinage for the nation. As a self-funded agency, the United States Mint turns revenues beyond its operating expenses over to the General Fund of the Treasury. Other responsibilities include: Maintaining physical custody and protection of the Nation's $100 billion of U.S. gold and silver assets; Manufacturing and selling platinum, gold, and silver bullion coins; and Overseeing production facilities in Denver, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and West Point, as well as the U.S. Bullion Depository at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

  1. Brilliant! 100 1 dollar coins for $119.95.

    Since when do non premium coins get sold from the mint?

    Uncirculated does not mean unmarked or scratch free.

    Used again. Ouch!

  2. Wow. This coin blows everything away, the U.S. Mint has done up to now. Could easily be considered a classic and hold its own against coins of the 1700’s, 1800’s, and 1900’s. But the immense detail being created with modern technology exemplifies the capabilities of the mint, and could easily be the best looking coin the mint has ever made. Who could disagree?
