While traveling through Winnipeg, a city packed with a rich past, you can’t help but feel at home, with all the hospitable people around. Winnipeg being half prairie, half metropolitan, it’s a sure delight to see so many galleries, restaurants and museums.
Winnipeg has something more to offer, while visiting here you must not forget to pay a visit to the Royal Canadian Mint. With its unique architectural design, and the marveling glass tower, it will intrigue you. This facility is a high-tech high-volume, producing over 15 million coins each day. Literally Royal Canadian Mint produces billions of coins each year. It produces all of Canada’s’ coins as well as producing coins for countries worldwide. Guided tours are offered through their state of the art manufacturing facility. It’s an engineering dream, to be able to witness all the presses.
Adjacent to the facility there is a museum, where you and your family can make your own coin souvenir, or hold a 99.99 gold bar worth over 400,000. Their boutique is just as impressive, whether you collect or not. You will drool over the finely minted coins. You will find Royal Canadian Mint is closed on Christmas and New Years Day.
