I lived in Winnipeg most of my life and have visited the Royal Canadian Mint (Winnipeg) multiple times and still do.

So borrowing a question from a Simpson's episode, my question is,

Thanks for all the great responses today!

Here's where I think we are on mint "coverage":
United States:
- Philadelphia
- Denver
- San Francisco
- Charlotte
(apologies to jbuck ... on Dahlonega)

Canada:
- Winnipeg
- Ottawa

Australia:
- Sydney
- Perth

UK
- Canterbury
- Hythe

Europe (I promise to break this up by country when warranted)
- Lyon
- Moscow

And on personal totals, NumisRob is in the lead with 3 (Hythe, Canterbury, Lyon)

I'll add one more...

As a student, longer ago than I care to mention, I spent a school year in Nancy, France, which minted coins for the Duchy of Lorraine from the 13th to 18th centuries. This is one theme in my collection.

True, but only 750 miles from Philly. Even NOLA is closer to you than Denver.

I worked just outside of Winnipeg for 2 years (2016-2018) and was fortunate to spend way too much time and money at the Mint!

I'm 2 hours aways from the now closed New Orleans mint. AKA Old US Mint.

I lived in Salt Lake City for 5 years. About halfway between the Denver and Carson City US Mints.

Salt Lake had its own mint in Territorial days that struck gold coins for the predominant religious group of the Territory. Those coins are pretty tough.

Now I'm in north Texas. My closest mint would be New Orleans.

I wish the N. Orleans location would still be in production. I go to Castle Rock, Co every other year to visit friend. I think I may take the time to check out Denver's.

Hi, tlandry24, and ...


Great to hear from Louisiana, and YES, I'm gonna count that for New Orleans.
I used to travel to Lake Charles for work ... are you anywhere near there?
