Why you should go…

The Denver Mint is a working branch of the United States Mint that has struck coins since 1906, and its coins carry a D mint mark. Free guided tours, booked ahead through the Mint reservation portal, last about 45 minutes and cover the history of the Mint and how circulating coins are made. The 1904 building was modeled on the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi in Florence. Visitors must be at least 7 years old, and the tour booth sits by the gift shop entrance on Cherokee Street.
