The establishment of a mint was

authorized by act of April 2, 1792

(1 Stat. 246). The Bureau of the Mint

was established by act of February 12,

1873 (17 Stat. 424), and recodif‌ied on

September 13, 1982 (31 U.S.C. 304,

5131). The name was changed to United

States Mint by Secretarial order dated

January 9, 1984.

The primary mission of the Mint is

to produce an adequate volume of

circulating coinage for the Nation to

conduct its trade and commerce. The

Mint also produces and sells numismatic

coins, American Eagle gold and silver

bullion coins, and national medals.

In addition, the Fort Knox Bullion

Depository is the primary storage facility

for the Nation’s gold bullion.

The U.S. Mint maintains sales centers

at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints

and at Union Station in Washington,

DC. Public tours are conducted, with

free admission, at the Philadelphia and

Denver Mints.
