Mints

Mints produce official coins and banknotes, which are the official currency of that country. The operation of the mint is under the control of a central bank or government. Its tasks include the design, minting or printing of coins and banknotes, quality control, and their release into circulation. In addition, mints are often responsible for withdrawing and replacing old or damaged coins. These institutions play an important role in maintaining the stability and reliability of the monetary system.
