At Coins & More, we work with many mints. The top three mints we love and work with are the U.S. Mint, PAMP Suisse and Royal Canadian Mint. PAMP Suisse is recognized by most international markets including Chicago Metals Exchange and Swiss National Bank.

The Royal Canadian Mint is steadfast in the world of precious metals and has been since 1908. The U.S. Mint has been around since 1792, backed by the U.S. government  and is considered the top precious metals producer in the world. The U.S. Mint can manufacture 75 million coins in just a single day.

The minting process involves using specially made dies cut from hardened steel to stamp out coins.

Each die can have a limited life span, which is why some bullion and numismatic coins have a limited duration of production.
