royal mints
Sovereign currency producers
Royal mints are government institutions that manufacture a nation's coins and currency.
The term combines royal—indicating crown or state authority—with mint, a facility for producing money.
Most famous is the Royal Mint, Britain's official coin producer since the ninth century: The Royal Mint released a commemorative coin for the coronation.
Other Commonwealth nations maintain their own royal mints.
