When the Philly mint was first established, the idea was for it to stand as a symbol of the gravitas of the USA. Philadelphia was at the time the capital of the nation. The “Ye Olde Mint” however was brought down by fire. The second mint built too was quickly replaced because it’s establishment was built on the salvaged parts from the first mint. The third mint was built in 1901, a grand building with a Roman Temple facade with magnificent glass mosaics. The fourth and final mint is the possibly the largest in the world and severs as a prominent landmark to the city. The Philadelphia Mint can produce up to one million coins in thirty minutes – something the original mint took three years to do. If you visit, you’ll get to watch the operations of the minting process, a fascinating thing – and you coin collectors and droll at the rare old coins, especially those made of silver donated by donated by George Washington. You ought to look at the stuffed bird in the lobby too – it was supposed to bring the mint good luck while it lived. The mint s beautiful from the inside and the displays can get very interactive – your kids, if you bring them, won’t be bored.
