[front] U. S. MINT, PHILADELPHIA, PA. [back] The U.S. MINT is a government establishment for the coining of lawful metallic money. Besides making the coined money for the United States, the mint also makes metallic money for foreign nations and does considerable business in the line of suppling fine gold and silver bars for industrial uses. In 1930 new and improved molds for minor coinage ingots were adopted in the melting and refining department and a grinding device has been installed which eliminates all hand filing. |
