The United States Mint makes coins. Its main task is to make sure the people of the nation have enough coins to carry on daily business. In addition to coins for commerce buying and sellingthe United States Mint also makes other coins and minte for collectors. Where is the Mint? There are six places around the country that make up this federal agency. A facility is a place or building set up for certain reasons. As a house has a kitchen for cooking and a bedroom for sleeping but the rooms are still part of one house, so the United States Mint has six facilities with different purposes.
