ROYAL CANADIAN MINT
Address:
355, River Road, Ottawa
Master: Yvon Gariepy
Primary purpose of the mint is to produce Canada's circulatory coinage. However, since it became a Crown Corporation in 1969, it has been given the responsibility and authority to take on other business for the purpose of making a profit. In recent years the mint has been awarded a number of overseas contracts for numismatic coins and is used extensively by such marketing companies as Paramount and World Coin. The higher quality of the mint's numismatic coins is widely acknowledged.
