Federated Mint Competitors

The mission of the U.S. Mint is to serve the American people by manufacturing and distributing circulating, precious metal and collectible coins and national medals, and providing security over assets entrusted to us. Since our institution’s founding in 1792, the Mint has taken great pride in rendering the story of our nation in coins. To hold a coin or medal produced by the Mint is to connect to the founding principles of our nation and the makings of our economy. The Mint 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 Mint also produces coin-related products, including proof, uncirculated, and commemorative coins; Congressional Gold Medals; and silver and gold bullion coins. The Mint’s programs are self-sustaining and operate at no cost to the taxpayer. Here is a link to the United States Mint Privacy Policy Statement: https://www.usmint.gov/policies/privacy-policy

With a history spanning more than 1,100 years, The Royal Mint is Britain’s oldest company and the original maker of UK circulating coins. Today, The Royal Mint crafts coins, investment products, and luxury goods for the UK and overseas. Based in Llantrisant, South Wales, its commitment to sustainability and preserving traditional expertise ensures The Royal Mint continues to lead and shape the precious metals industry for generations to come.

The Mint is a for-profit Crown Corporation with a mandate to produce circulation and non-circulation coins (for Canada and other countries), manage the domestic coinage system, and provide advice to the Minister of Finance on all matters related to coinage. It also extends to the production and marketing of bullion and related refinery products and services for profit. Legislation which establishes the Mint is clear that the corporation is to conduct its businesses "in anticipation of profit". That fundamental object has shaped the history of the Mint.
