The tour is inexpensive, informative, and not too long. We thoroughly enjoyed it with our kids who are 9 and 11. Also, the gift shop has some lovely items. The staff we're extremely helpful.Phone ahead to make a reservation for the tour and save yourself some time.
I enjoyed the tour of the mint. The tour guide was wonderful. From learning about the architecture of the building to making money for so many countries; They recycle most of the products used in the process.
An "Interesting Triangular Building"-- doing "Interesting things".Following a lengthy and complicated set of "political discussions" it was decided to locate the new Mint (the existing Mint in Ottawa was antiquated and too small). An "added bonus" associated with the new building was that it could more economically source raw materials from Alberta vs the imported materials that were previously being used. The new Mint was also very efficient-- as is evidenced by their supplying minted coinage for seventy (70) countries!! Your memories of Winnipeg will be enriched by a visit to this Mint!!I hope that this Review has been helpful!
Well worth the trip. Interesting guided tour. Lots of facts about coins and money you would never guess. Try lifting an actual bar of real gold, no kidding. The gift shop has some out of this world coins for sale. Oh and they range in price from a few dollars to Thousands.
Great experience to see all the equipment used to mint all the circulation coins. Good place for currency enthusiasts. There are also free self guided tours and paid guided tours one can take around their facility. I would recommend to visit during weekdays as you can see the machinery running.they also have a small shop where you can buy limited edition coins and souvenirs.
