Hi all.
My tour at the Mint was this morning and as expected I was not allowed to take pictures inside.
But it was a good tour, and learned all about how they machine dies and making coin blanks for stamping out our phoney baloney money.
This is the driveway into the mint. Each flag is for a country that the Winnipeg mint has made coins for.
Today they were stamping and boxing coins for the Bahamas, and the guide said they were just awarded to contract for making Phillipines currency.
And for my souvenir, I snagged this pretty bar.
Now I need to visit that Scottsdale mint in Casper Wyoming. It's about a 10 hour drive I think.
