From the Ottawa World / Places

Royal Canadian Mint

The Royal Canadian Mint's historic Ottawa facility stands on Sussex Drive near the National Gallery. It focuses on collector and commemorative coinage, not the everyday circulation coins made elsewhere.

Royal Canadian Mint

Why go

A guided visit links precious-metal craft and precision production to an institution housed in a historic capital building. The distinction between this site and circulation-coin manufacturing is worth understanding before you go. Its compact Sussex Drive location also fits naturally into an art-and-architecture walk.

What to look for

  • Historic Sussex Drive façade
  • Collector and commemorative coin production on tours

Useful to know

  • Use a confirmed tour slot for interior access and combine the stop with the nearby gallery or cathedral.
