US Mint

When we were in Denver we went to a mint. No, that’s not where they make candy, it’s where people make coins. They make all different kinds of American coins. There were a lot of security guards there because they had gold somewhere in the building. What was even crazier was that the police station was right across the road. If someone tried to break in, they’d get JAILED!!!! We were given coins that only 1000 were made. That may sound like a lot but they were never touched by human hands and they gave them out to everybody who came on a tour. Even the little kid who are going to rip open the wrapper and probably lose the coin. 😀 We saw how the coins were made and what materials they used. On the way out there was a hallway that was made a long time ago. It was a replica of a church in Italy. The roof was painted and all the floors were never replaced.
