Thanks @scopru! Also, I am really grateful to @drdarryl for the Smithsonian post earlier in this thread--I'm hoping that others will add their own numismatic observations from museums all over the world!

The Old US Mint at New Orleans


If you ride the Riverfront Streetcar, the last stop on the line, French Market Station, is right at the Mint building. Get off the trolley, look to the left and there you are!

There is no charge for admission, just walk right in and say hello the the guard at the desk. Everything mint related is on the first floor and there are bathrooms on site.


The Welcome Sign.
