Very recently I got the urge to find some shows about coin minting. Something that shows the process of making a coin, about the minting site, and maybe something about the employees. Ive seen a few in the past, but don't remember the program it was on or the show name, plus it would have been at least 10 years ago. The reason I'm looking is because in any hobby I get into, I like having some video about the subject on hand just to watch when I'm bored, or just need some background noise when I'm doing something else. I figured History or Discovery channel might of had some shows about coin minting. Maybe even the "How its made" series. And to specify, I'm mostly interested in the U.S. mints but European mints will work too.

Yes, I also saw the Modern Marvels show. It was very good. I also liked the show on the history channel that talked about Fort Knox.

I figured there would be a few programs, but knowing which ones makes it easier for me to look for them.

The ANA Library has a number of shows on tape about the minting processes. I think they also have one about the BEP and currency creation.
