No pictures inside (security guards will stop you)... but free and very informative tour through the facility!!! Lots of historical artifacts and stories and views of the live coin production line !!

Since the website to reserve spots for the tours isn't working, email DenMintTourRes@usmint.treas.gov to reserve a date and time for your group.

The mint really knows how to make money — up to 50 million coins every day! The tour won’t cost you a dime, though, and will show you how dull metal is transformed into glittering pocket change.

*CAUTION* You WILL be turned away if you walk up w/o a reservation! No more stand by, walk ins, walk ups, etc. Nada! Nein. No. Make a reservation EARLY EARLY EARLY in advance otherwise you're S.O.L.

Security was super tight. Kinda killed the fun of the tour. They won't let you in if you aren't 20-30 before your tour. They freak out about purses. But strangely cameras are ok if you don't use them

The tour is good. Do it in the morning, so you still have the whole day. Register in advance online.

Make sure to reserve a tour. Don't show up like I did and not get a tour of the mint. Reserve online.

Make reservations early; they open dates about 2 months ahead. Heed the "do not bring" list. Gift shop will hold your purchase until you've finished the tour.

HISTORYApril 5, 2010
Originally opened in the mid-1800s to change gold and silver found by miners. Not until 1906 that the Denver facility began actually minting coins after being an Assay Office for the interim years.

A relatively short tour, but an interesting one, watching the presses stamp out coins is interesting.

Make sure and head there early in the day and pick up standby tickets so you can go later. They run out pretty quickly

The gift shop has machines that will exchange one of your ordinary paper dollar bills for the equivalent in the newest quarter or dollar coin design!
