    The Royal Canadian mint in Winnipeg was opened in 1976. It has produced coin currency for half of the world's countries, about 72. It can produce about 20 million coins a day in full production.
    There is a full gift shop for  your pleasure. Take the opportunity to lift a 24 pound gold bar valued at $610,000. But don't get any odd ideas because an RCMP officer is on guard duty.
    There were guided tours of the facilty. Tour guides take people through the facility to explain and see first hand the production of coins.
    The building is absolutely gorgeous and the movie "The Constant Gardener" was filmed in it. Excellent.
