<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 219080, member: 39&quot;]Not that this matters much, since the situation now is different, but either you were tremendously lucky, or the information provided by the US Mint on its website in late 2004/early 2005 <i>(&quot;Tours for individuals/families ...&nbsp; must be arranged through Congressional sponsorship. Addresses and telephone number for members of Congress can be found at ... You will need to provide the legal name, date-of-birth and Social Security number for all people requesting a tour.&quot;)</i> was incorrect. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Also note the two comments <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60795-d138301-Reviews-United_States_Mint-Philadelphia_Pennsylvania.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60795-d138301-Reviews-United_States_Mint-Philadelphia_Pennsylvania.html" rel="nofollow">on this page</a>:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;We knew we needed approval and reservations through our local senator in order to get into the Mint&quot; (Aug 13, 2003)</p><p>&quot;They&#039;ve just recently reopened for tours, and it&#039;s worth going. You can line up for the 9AM opening on week days and get in for free.&quot; (Jun 14, 2005)</p><p><br /></p><p>It is definitely possible to get in, without any of this pre-registration, now - friends of mine did that last year, and I plan to do it next year ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
