The Royal Canadian Mint boutique at 320 Sussex Dr. in Ottawa will temporarily close to the public, effective Wednesday, December 29 until further notice.
We are committed to doing everything we can to keep our employees, customers and visitors healthy and safe. As the COVID-19 situation is ongoing, we will be closely monitoring the situation and adjusting our operations as needed.
The Royal Canadian Mint's headquarters occupy the historic building in central Ottawa where the Mint was founded in 1908. Today, the Ottawa facility produces collector and commemorative coins, gold bullion coins, medals and medallions. This is where the master tooling is done to create the dies that strike coin designs for both circulation and commemorative issues. The Mint's gold refining and advanced engineering operations are also located here in Ottawa.
Visit the Ottawa boutique at 320 Sussex Drive to add to your coin collection, find exciting gift ideas and take home some Mint memorabilia or take a guided tour to learn more about the exacting skill that goes into precision coin design.
