Royal Canadian Mint
The Royal Canadian Mint is located only a 10-minute-
drive east of downtown at the corner of Highway
1 (Fermor Avenue) and Highway 59 (Lagimodière
Boulevard). Look for the beautiful 110-foot tall glass
tower designed by Winnipeg architect Étienne Gaboury
and the display of 75 flags representing the countries
that have coins produced right here in Winnipeg.
Guided tours of the Royal Canadian Mint offer visitors
a unique opportunity to examine the manufacturing
facility from a viewing gallery. The state-of-the-art
facility, built in 1976, produces billions of coins
each year.
A 45-minute guided tour, available in both French and
English, helps visitors discover and learn about the
production of coins. The Interactive Coin Museum offers
a fun and creative experience, including the once-in-
a-lifetime chance to lift and hold a 23-pound gold bar
worth approximately $650,000. The boutique offers
beautiful collector coins, an exclusive line of Royal
Canadian Mint souvenirs and unique gift ideas.
Ample free parking, a theatre and foyer for receptions
for up to 300 people are also available.
