The Mint of Philadelphia, was created as the Capital city of the Union, it was founded in 1792, according to the provisions of the Act of April 2, 1792, which also established the monetary system of the Union and the characteristics of future coins. of dollar.
Its headquarters was a building known as the “Ye Olde Mint” and production began in 1793. Due to the high demand for production, the Mint had to branch out into branches throughout the Union; Charlotte (18381909), Carolina N.(1838-1861), Dahlonega (1838-1861), and N.Orleans. This gave rise to the need to create identifying marks to know the origin of the pieces; Charlotte( C ), Dahlonega ( D ), were originally only opened to work with gold from their regions, the Civil War closed them in 1861 and they never reopened. N. Orleans ( O ) closed at the beginning of the Civil War and resumed work in 1879.
In 1870 it opened a new subsidiary in the city of Carson City (CC) due to the largest vein of silver discovered to date, it closed its production in 1893.
Another subsidiary of the US Mint was established in 1920 in Manila (Philippines) (M) which at that time was a US Colony, it was the only mint established outside the continental territory, it was operating in 2 periods 1920-1922 and 1925 -1945.
From its inception to the present day, the Philadelphia mint has been in 4 different locations, the last since 1969.
Until 1980 this mint did not use a mint mark except on some coins, since then it has used the P mark.
The design and engraving departments are located in Philadelphia and it continues to be the headquarters of the North American mint.
The factories subordinated to the Mint are those of:
-Denver. (1863)
-San Francisco. (1864)
-West Point. (1937)
Among them they distribute all the circulating and commemorative coinage of the United States.
The Denver Mint was created out of the
Act of Congress of April 21, 1862, beginning production work in 1863 as the United States Assay Office. Initially, the Government bought the facilities of the company Clark, Gruber & Company for $25,000.
The factory was subordinate to the United States Mint, based in Philadelphia.
Contrary to expectations, gold was never minted at these facilities, the director of the Mint alleged problems with security on the merchandise transport route, since they were being harassed by outlaws (rebels from the Civil War) and by Indian tribes. The Mint limited itself to carrying out controls
of quality gold found in the riverbeds by nearby miners, which they analyzed, melted down into ingots and were delivered to their owners.
A time of scarcity led miners to prospect underground for precious metals and reaped their reward by finding rich betas of gold and silver, prompting Congress to enact another Act in which the Denver Mint would dedicate itself to minting. The Government decided to transfer the Mint to another location with more benefits and this took place on April 22, 1896, when he bought the facilities that were in West Colfax and Delaware for $60,000 streets, where you are currently. The conditioning works began in 1897 and ended in 1904 and the first coin was not minted until 1906. During that year, 167 million coins of all kinds were minted.
The Mint currently produces annual series of circulating coins and commemorative coins, it is the one that mints the most coins worldwide.
Its mintmark is represented by the letter D, which was also used by the Dahlonega mint, but it closed when the American Civil War began and never reopened.
