The Royal Canadian Mint: Canada’s Official Mint

The Royal Canadian Mint (Monnaie Royale Canadienne in French) is Canada’s official mint, operating under an Act of Parliament. It produces all of Canada's circulating coins and a wide range of precious metal items, including collectible coins, gold bars and silver bars, silver coins, and medallions.

In addition to making Canadian coinage, the Royal Canadian Mint also manufactures coins for over 70 countries, such as New Zealand, Thailand, Cuba, Colombia, Iceland, Norway, and Yemen. Many of these nations rely on coins produced by the Royal Mint for their quality and reliability.



Brief History of the Royal Canadian Mint

Since 1858, specially minted coins have circulated in what is now Canada. Originally, these were struck at the Royal Mint in England. As Canada developed, the demand for locally produced coinage grew.


In 1908, the Royal Canadian Mint opened its first branch in Ottawa. By 1931, during the Great Depression, the Ottawa branch gained independence from the Royal Mint in England, establishing the Royal Canadian Mint as a fully Canadian institution.


By 1976, demand for coins both at home and abroad had surged, prompting the opening of a second facility in Winnipeg. Today, the Ottawa branch handles Canadian circulation coins, while the Winnipeg branch focuses on international production.
