While the Royal Canadian Mint no longer manufactures Canada's circulating coins, the Ottawa facility creates finely crafted medals, commemorative coins for collectors, and awards in precious metals. These include Olympic medals.

The tour is fascinating, especially on weekdays when you can see the craftspeople at work. You'll also see one of three giant gold loonies (Canadian dollar coins) minted here, and get to hold a real gold ingot. Tour groups are small, so you should reserve a spot in advance.

Traduction du text ci-haut:

Bien que la Monnaie royale canadienne ne fabrique plus les pièces en circulation du Canada, l'usine d'Ottawa crée des médailles finement travaillées, des pièces commémoratives pour les collectionneurs et des récompenses en métaux précieux. Il s'agit notamment des médailles olympiques.

La visite est fascinante, surtout en semaine où vous pouvez voir les artisans au travail. Vous verrez également l'un des trois huards géants en or (pièces en dollars canadiens) frappés ici et pourrez tenir un véritable lingot d'or. Les groupes de touristes sont petits, vous devez donc réserver une place à l'avance.
