Denver Mint

Denver Mint is one of only four U.S. mints, and this long-standing facility is responsible for turning out more coins per year than any other coin mint in the world. During a visit, it is possible to learn all about the Mint's coin-making process, and visitors will even get a chance to witness heaps of metal being converted into precious money. The fact that you can actually witness metal being turned into coins makes a Denver Mint tour especially enticing. Only two mints in the country offer actual looks at the money-making process. The other can be found in the city of Philadelphia.
