The Mint in Winnipeg
produces coins and medallions. As in Loonies, Toonies, and similar plus foreign
currency and things like Olympic Medals. None of the big value paper stuff but
still interesting. No samples. No photos (except in the reception/sales counter
area).

| The Mint serves 70+ countries. All of their flags are here. Yes, I know the picture should have been wider. |
Interesting tour of non-sensitive areas. Didn’t get to take
a whack at producing a gold coin or two. Security was present but not massive.
Not a huge worry about outsiders since the majority of production is in heavy low value stuff
that you would need a tractor trailer of to pay for the getaway fuel.

| Just over her right shoulder is a "No photo" symbol. Didn't see it until later. Still free. |
Fortunately my photos are of such poor quality that they are completely useless to the bad guys.
You could argue the point if you want to be nice.
