Took our grandson to see where his money comes from. It is controlled access, as expected, but lots to see and examine. The purchase of some collection coins was the highlight for him. The coins are not made here, but in Winnipeg, so can see the bills only.

Not the most exciting place to go but it was quite interesting to see the process and machinery involved in the making of coins.

We really enjoyed touring the mint. The guide we had was excellent and you are able to see the various stages in making the commemorative coins. Try to arrive early as the tours book up quickly.

Other than some interesting tidbits of information I was greatly disappointed. We were there during the week and nothing was in production. You would think with this electronic age that they... More

I think we must have been lucky when we went to the mint, we went on a Saturday morning at 10am a couple of weeks before Christmas - there was no one else on the tour, and they were in production, which we were advised was quite unusual for weekends. Our guide was friendly and knowledgable, and having the one... More

We arrived to the Castle where the Canadian Mint is housed. It is a gated facility. There is a window opening with a sign that said "Guided Tours". Not sure if we really wanted a "tour" I looked for another window for just tickets to enter. Thinking there was a "museum-type" component, we really just wanted to go in and... More
