225 Years of the United States Mint

Established in 1792, the United States Mint celebrated its 225th Anniversary in 2017. When the framers of the U.S. Constitution created a new government for their untried Republic, they realizedthe critical need for a respected monetary system. In April 1792, Congress passed The Coinage Act, which created the Mint and authorized construction of a Mint building in Philadelphia. Since thattime, both the United States of America and the U.S. Mint have undergone many changes. This presentation will cover the many ways in which the Mint has grown and changed during its 225-yearhistory
