A worldly attraction that's always on the money Guided tours of the Royal Canadian Mint are worth every penny as your group will get up close to the high- tech processes that produce upwards of 20 million coins in one day. This worldly tour (available in English and French) showcases how the Mint has produced coins for more than 75 countries, while also highlighting the celebrated designs and items that have been made here – including the medals from the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. The Mint is full of interactive exhibits where you can test your knowledge on currency from around the world while you'll also get to feel the weight of a gold bar worth more than $500 thousand. Their gift shop is also a real gem, with great gift ideas including the world's first glow in the dark coins and numerous items celebrating Canadian and world history. The Mint has also recently teamed up with famed Winnipeg candle makers Coal and Canary to produce a water lily, jasmine and orange candle that is available exclusively at The Mint. mint.ca - 1.800.WPG.MINT Fairfield Inn & Suites Located just minutes from the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, CF Polo Park shopping centre, and the excellent ethnic eateries of Winnipeg's vibrant west end, Fairfield Inn & Suites sits in a prime location from which to discover Winnipeg.
