The United States Mint Home

Description: The United States Mint produces circulating coinage (penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half-dollar, and dollar coin) in order for the United States to conduct its trade and commerce and to sell as numismatic products. Currently, the mint has many coin and medals programs, including the 50 state quarters program, golden dollars, the presidential $1 coin program, and the Westward Journey nickel series. There is also an award winning children’s website site, H.P.C., or hip pocket change.
