What is there to see and do at the Royal Mint Experience?
Guided Factory Experience
Go behind the scenes to follow the journey of a coin from a blank to the bank in the 45-minute Guided Factory Experience.
Led by a knowledgeable Visitor Host, you will enter one of the manufacturing areas to discover how blank pieces of metal are made before being ‘struck’ into coins. From a viewing area you will be able to see with your own eyes the striking hall where thousands of coins are produced, 24 hours a day. You will then have the chance to strike your own coin.
Interactive Exhibition
Next up as part of your visit is the self-guided Interactive Exhibition where you will be free to explore six different zones at your own speed. Travel back through thousands of years of history and learn about the origins of the Royal Mint and its links to the Tower to London and its move to Wales. Then see its fascinating selection of military, sporting and commemorative medals and discover more about the universal hobby of coin collecting.
