mints

Breath-freshening candies

Mints are candies flavored with mint—the aromatic herb whose oils produce a cooling sensation: She offered me a mint after dinner.

Breath mints mask odors; after-dinner mints accompany the check at restaurants.

Mint also refers to places where coins are manufactured, and things in mint condition are pristine, as if freshly minted.
