If any of their technology is indeed "patented", you can look up the details of that patent online, where the technology is described. Patents are made public so other engineers and innovators can avoid copying them.
However, if they just use "secret" or "prioprietary" technology that is not patented, it's just that, a secret. We would have no way of knowing, until potentially that information gets released somehow. This is the most likely case, to mitigate counterfeiting.
Edit: I did a search for Canadian patents on the CIPO website, using the search phrase " Royal Canadian Mint". If you specify that phrase as specifically the applicant's name, you will get a few results. Opting to search any field will bring up several pages of results, though not all are relevant. So there are definitely some very specific things you can find out there, although I imagine still that quite a bit of what they do are internal trade secrets.
