If I rememeber correctly, this is the building right outside of China Town near the transmeta building (which is one ugly and small building). the funny thing is, on my short list of things to do in SF during my recent trip, I wanted to visit the mint. there was not EVER A WORD about a minot on any literature I could find. In addition, the old mint building, I forgot the street name it was on, was purly accidental that I stumbled on it. I took a path not followed to put in London like terms. Ruben
