History
The Royal Canadian Mint has a long-standing history as one of the world’s leading mints. Originally established in Ottawa in 1908 as the Royal Mint, it became the Royal Canadian Mint in conjunction with the Canadian Government during the Great Depression. In response to rising demand, a second location was opened in Winnipeg in the 1980s. Nowadays, the Winnipeg facility is responsible for all the coin production for other countries, while the Ottawa facility mainly handles the domestic side.
