minted coin

Freshly stamped tender

A minted coin is a coin produced by an official mint—a government facility that manufactures currency.

The term emphasizes authenticity and official production, distinguishing genuine currency from counterfeits or tokens: The collection includes minted coins from ancient Rome.

Newly minted coins are fresh from production, uncirculated and pristine.
