När systemet upptäcker ett problem kan ett omdöme automatiskt avvisas, skickas till recensenten för verifiering eller granskas manuellt av vårt team med innehållsspecialister, som arbetar dygnet runt för att upprätthålla kvaliteten på omdömena på vår webbplats.

Our family off four, including two kids 12 and 16, enjoyed the 45-minute guided tour. It was fascinating to learn how advanced our coin-making technology is in Canada and how much we subcontract our services to other countries around the world. Our tour guide Zoe was fantastic and did an excellent job of explaining each step of the production process.
One tip... it's a good idea to book your tour in advance. We didn't and were surprised when we arrived and the next tour wasn't available for about three hours. Not a big deal, as there's lot of other stuff to see and do within walking distance, but better to know in advance.

Fascinating! Joined a tour (about 15 folks) and were led into the world of precision medallion making. Very knowledgeable young guide who explained the history of the mint as well as the industrial processes we witnessed. Including good humour and interesting anecdotes. Every Canadian should make the time to visit. Nice little gift shop where you get a wonderful exposure to the various collections the mint has made over the years.

We did the booked tour at a reasonable cost of $10. The tour consists of a guide describing each step of the process of minting commemorative coins (circulatory coins elsewhere) at a series of windows looking down at each process. Our guide was enthusiastic and informative. We were especially interested in the large gold coins produced. Whilst waiting for your tour you can view the shop selling coins. No photos are allowed on the tour.

Visited as a family with our 10 and 12 year olds. We really enjoyed the visit and learnt a lot. Coins were being made on our visit but even if they were not, the guide’s information would have been enough. My children enjoyed the section on Olympic medals and the glow in the dark coin was a hit!

Vi fik en rigtig god rundvisning gennem hele processen med at fremstille mønter. Der var rig mulighed for at stille spørgsmål og blive meget klogere på hvordan mønter fremstilles.

Snore. Too crowded. Tour groups are so big that you cannot see or hear. The walking tour is down narrow hallways with windows on one side that look down into the workshops. With so many people you cannot see the windows. The guide was informative but I think she was winging it a lot. She was at times rather inaccurate. She was in a hurry and was rude to few guests when they asked her questions.
The gift shop was expensive and pretty lousy.
Overall, I would miss this tour when in Ottawa. Do something else!

This tour offers a great insight into how coins are made. Yannick, our guide, was great and enthusiastic.
This mint no longer produces circulating coins, those are now made in Winnipeg. This mint makes bullion and collector coins made from silver and gold.
The process is still the same and these coins are much more valuable.
We booked our tour about a week in advance and I'm happy we did. We tried to get on an earlier tour, but all the slots were filled.
It's just a short walk from Parliament Hill and a stone's throw from the National Gallery of Canada. No photos are allowed during the tour.
Yes, they do have a gift shop.

You can only visit by tour, which I would recommend booking in advance as they book up quickly.
The staff were helpful and welcoming and there is a small gift shop to browse whilst waiting for your tour (or afterwards).
The tour was really interesting, we saw some of the production happening, (although this isn't guaranteed) and some great exhibits.
There are toilets but no cafe or anywhere to get a drink, however it is fairly centrally located so there are places not too far away where you can eat.

Nous avons adoré notre visite. Notre guide était excellent et passionné. Nous y avons appris un tas de choses sur la fabrication et l'histoire de la monnaie au Canada. Nous avons pu voir comment se fait la fabrication de pièces et de médailles. Vraiment impressionnant d'apprendre tous ces détails. La boutique a aussi de belles pièces à acheter pour tous les budgets. Je recommande cette visite

Interesting. Tours go every 15 minutes and the admission at $10 is very reasonable. We had a very knowledgeable young man as a guide who was very informative and took time to explain everything. Walking distance from Parliament buildings.

Since the banks no longer accept silver dollars, is there a place where I can trade them for spendable currency?
Is there a non guided option as a tour?

This is a secure facility with million of dollars of gold and silver used to cut the collector coins.Your tour is above the working area which is glassed in. There are armed guards at entrances, security cameras throughout and you are not allowed to take any pictures. The tours are in small groups and without the guided tour, it would be difficult to know about the coin making process.

How far in advance should I call to make reservations for a tour?
RideTheDonkey
Toronto, Kanada137 inlägg
Hi...you don't need to reserve unless it is a huge group like a tour bus size. Tours come every 45 minutes more or less depending how many per group. The waiting area is quite nice as it is in the gift shop and you can look at the coins and collections, ask questions before and after the tour. Plus washrooms available too. During the week, you can see the workers making the collection or limited edition coins. If still not sure, you can always give them a call and they would be happy to answer any other questions you have. They are so nice there.

I read that the weekends tour is not as interesting...because the machines are not working. Is that correct?
Steve W
Victoria, Kanada15 inlägg
It is true that the machines are shut down for the weekend tours. I still found it worthwhile to visit the mint just to see all the equipment and some of the processes. If you are interested in seeing the machines in action, best to visit during the weekdays when the mint is up and running. Might also be a little less people in there as well. Hope you get to enjoy a tour someday!

Hi, Can someone please let me know the weight of the solid gold ingot/bar that is on display in the visitor shop area of the mint? I am putting together a scrap book on the visit and would love to post this info beside the picture of me holding the bar. Thank you.
