[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 3541031, member: 15588"]So I find myself in San Francisco and I think "I should tour the San Franscico mint!" After all, within the past 5 years I've toured both the Philadelphia and Denver mints. It would be quite cool to complete the cycle. But, upon looking up their [URL='https://www.usmint.gov/about/mint-tours-facilities/san-francisco']website[/URL], I see the following: "The San Francisco Mint does not accommodate visitors, as all space is needed for personnel and machinery." And I see no tour information whatsoever. Has it always been this way? A building called "The Mint" does exist in downtown San Francisco, but the actual Mint relocated from there in the 1930s. Now it serves as an event center. A rather sneaky website says "[URL='https://thesanfranciscomint.com/tour/']Tour the San Francisco Mint[/URL]" but they mean this older building, not the currently working US Mint. It does look like a pretty amazing building, but it's not the current mint. Has the S-Mint ever offered tours?[/QUOTE]
