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.
