Royal Canadian Mint

The tour was very informative and interesting. You should call and book the tour ahead. Both kids and adults enjoyed the tour. We got a morning tour and saw some minting happening. The workers at the gift shop were amazing. He let us trade some of our change for special coins in circulation. He definitely made it a special experience. Got some cute souvenirs as well. They even let you hold the $10700 coin in the gift shop.

Excellent place we chose to return to, as we tend to visit all such places around the planet:n- booked our tickets way in advance and printed them in order to show the entry staffn- gorgeous historic building, however you cannot take pics/film once you are in the tourn- you can take pics outside or in their shop where you can find some interesting items we could not resist and had to buy a mug colour changing based on temperature besides with the silver bar until the heavy gold bar will be used againn- our tour guide was a very knowledgeable student detailing the unique Canadian technology used for some processes in this building housing over 100 million worth of gold and silver due to the coins they create for private investors. You can see a few workers at play from the above area the tour follows and everything is very interestingn- you have a brief history of this location and personalities who visited it in the last 100 years besides the high number of countries who had their coins minted in Canada, even USA in 1999, who would have thought!!!!n- great place, most surely we will be back again in a few years

The Royal Mint tour was truly fascinating. Exploring the coin collections and medals gave a unique insight into the evolution of currency, showcasing both history and craftsmanship. One of the highlights was getting a sneak peek at the new coins featuring King Charles, making the experience even more special.

Very informative and interesting tour. Make sure to go early in the day to see the operation in action. 3pm is too late to see much going on. Book tickets online in advance, pay on-site.

It was an enriching experience to gain insights into the history of collector and investment coins, as well as the intricate processes involved in their creation. The visit was both captivating and informative. I recommend scheduling a visit on a weekday to witness the live production process.
