About the Royal Canadian Mint
Over the past 105 years, the Royal Canadian Mint has emerged as a global
leader in minting. A few of its internationally-renowned "firsts"
include developing a revolutionary coin-plating process, producing the
world's thinnest bi-metallic coin, the purest 99.999% bullion gold coin
and first coloured circulation coin in the world.
Established in 1976, the Winnipeg Mint is a high-tech, high-volume
manufacturing facility where Canada's circulation coinage is produced,
as well as coins for countries around the world.
