The United States Mint is a federal agency based in Washington, District of Columbia, responsible for manufacturing and distributing United States coinage, including circulating coins, precious metal and collectible coins, and national medals. It is the sole producer of legal tender coinage and operates its programs on a self-sustaining basis, with costs covered by the coinage rather than taxpayers. Founded in 1792, the Mint connects the nation’s history to its economy through its coinage and medals. Its primary customers include the American public and institutions involved in currency and numismatic collectors, who rely on the Mint for secure and reliable coinage for commerce and collection. In June 2026, the Mint launched the American Innovation $1 coin featuring the Cray-1 supercomputer, reflecting ongoing innovation in its commemorative and special-issue programs.
