<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 2465030, member: 15588&quot;]I have toured the Philadelphia and Denver mint as well. The Philadelphia mint was a little bit of a letdown, unfortunately. The self-guided tour consists of walking down a long corridor, reading the walls, and looking down on the mint floor. It then empties out into a gift shop. A small, very small, display begins the tour that includes some decent coins, but nothing brain shattering. Not fantastic but still worth the trip.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Denver mint was nearly the opposite experience. We had an awesome tour guide who explained everything, provided incredible historical asides and was generally hilarious and gregarious. The tour ends at the historical entrance, preceded by the amazing original hallways, chandeliers and thick thick thick doors. It does require a rather rigorous security routine on the way in, though, since the Denver mint houses 17% of the nation&#039;s gold reserves. Armed guards accompany the tour throughout, but everyone was extremely friendly. I highly recommend that tour. I somewhat recommend the Philadelphia tour.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Winnipeg mint is worth the trip to Canada all by itself. Had I done nothing else in Winnipeg I would have felt satisfied just visiting that awesome mint. Go![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
