Unreal could not log to website for hours before the sale of V75 coin they need to improve their website its just unprofessional

I was surprised and impressed by our visit to the mint. I went as a kid, and myself and my family remembered it as a quick boring stop. I now have an 8 year old son who is really into coins, so we stopped on our way to visit family. It was great! The exhibit hall was quick and interesting and the short film was well done (although they could do with more seating, we sat on the floor and it got quite crowded). The actual mint viewing was great, with interactive screens that showed close up views and how the machines work, some in slow motion. I thought it was all very well done and my son was very happy. I could complain about the prices in the gift shop, but the visit was free and its easy to skip if you want to. Id say we were there for about 90 minutes, and were rather thorough. Nice stop if its something youre interested in!

Super bad service i log to mint web for v75 coin one hour before the start and everything was fine and i placed one coin order but while in prosses of paying the website froze and i did not know what is happing after three hours of waiting item is not available SUPER BAD

The museum is free and it is very well done. You get to see the factory they used to make the coins with detailed explanations. You also get to see how a coin is designed and you get to design your own coin too. It is a very informative place and kids would love it too. I highly recommend this place.

Its my church. I love money. And to see where it created. Well sir heaven on earth. Very educational. And yes you can buy coin at the store!

We visited the mint on July 3rd 2019. We happened to be there for the coin release of the Pride of Two Nations set. Got our coins and got them signed. If that wasnt enough the self guided tour of the mint is amazing and informative. Other than breathing its the only free thing in Philly. The gift shop was awesome with a huge variety of things and the staff was super helpful. Shout out to Matthew Holben, great things in your future kind sir, was a pleasure to meet you. Overall, the mint is a fantastic stop to make with your families or just on your own. The minting process is fascinating and the tour is a great experience! Never know could open up the world of coin collecting to the curious.

It was amazing! You get to learn about $.25 .50 .10 .5 and .1!! And they talked about the $1 and 50c Coins! But I found out today that there are $100 $50 Coins!!! Go there with your family! It is AMAZING

Its a great place for the history of the U.S. Mint. (P) Philadelphia location. The tour is self guide really short. At sometimes youll might be lucky enough to see the coin machine breakdown and spit the coins everywhere. You wont be able to go on the Mint factory floor itself, see through glass in a hallway high up. And by Federal Law NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE PICTURES! Located in Center City Philadelphia (Downtown) one block from the SEPTA Blue Line (the EL). Across the street from Mr and Mrs Ben Franklins grave site. And dont forget to visit the Federal Reserve Bank as well (P) Philadelphia Location is just about 2 blocks away. Both got gift shops. Coin prices will very at times.

Trucks delivery docks entrance is from a N 4th street. Officers are very nice and helpful. Just follow all directions they give you and get empty in an hour.Receiving hours 11 PM to 7 AM.Make sure broker clears your background before you come there.

One of the staples of not only Philly but America, holistically. Being a typical America I have coins and spend them or throw them in my coin jar and don’t think twice. The Mint highlights the history of coins and takes visitors down a journey that highlights what is involved in the life cycle and background of coins.The star of the show is the staff member that monitors the tour areas, cleaning the windows and exhibits. I apologize for not knowing his name but he would randomly pop up and quickly strike up a conversation. He was a wealth of knowledge and offered much more than a visitor would learn through the self guided tour.

My trip to the Mint was wonderful. The Mint Police were friendly and pleasant. The Mint wasn’t crowded today at all and the exhibits are informative and entertaining. Great stop on a tour of Philadelphia!

Was about to walk by - didn’t know we could take a tour. Officer Bonjourno was outside and offered to take our picture. Then he told us about the free factory tour. It was awesome. Our 9 year old loved it. And he gave us a blank penny and a brand new real one. US Mint Philadelphia Security rocks!

Great learning experience about how US currency came about and the history and advancements in how it is produced over time! Very cool and free!

The MINT was an amazing place to visit with tons of information on the treasury department! The MINT Police were EXCEPTIONALLY professional, polite and knowledgeable during our visit! Kudos to the MINT police!

Very fascinating seeing how coins are made! The last fact leaving the factory hallway about the metal dust in the carpet, my favorite. Very cool and FREE place, must see. Just cant take pictures inside. Its ok, I understand.

So awesome to see and experience the US mint! I recommend everyone who has time to come here. It is so fascinating to see the coins being made and to learn so much history. It is actually so fun to go here and check out! Everyone who works here is super friendly

Great place to visit and learn how US government make coins and its free self tour.

If you like coins don’t miss it!! Very informative and it’s a great experience to see how coins are made. There were a bunch of school groups when we went and the children were poorly watched. A student broke a commemorative bicentennial glass in the gift shop while we were there but staff handled the situation well. The tour itself was great but if you’re bringing a class remember to supervise them.

The staff was very nice and answered my coupled of questions. The self guided tour was very informative. There is lots of information given about each different process of making a coin. The production line was not very busy sadly as the announcement said they were doing pennies, but there were not a lot of people on the shop floor. Really worth a visit though.

Right when we walked in Stein made us feel so welcomed! Very interesting self guided tour. Saw dimes being made.Thanks Stein!!

Our Cub Scout Den went today, and the staff was great working the kids through security and getting us off to a great start on our self-guided tour.

What a great place to visit! Its free, there is a self-guided tour that shows you the entire process, from design, to the final coins. The tour takes you over the different areas of the mint factory floor. Signs on machines explain what each machines does. The tour starts with giant rolls of metal used to make coins and ends with giant bags of freshly minted metal money! Great place for kids. Just a block or so from the Independence parking garage. Dont miss it!

The US Mint is totally free and its a nice place to take the family. They have lots of factoids on the walls when I walk through and you can see the workers making the coins. The whole process is explained on the walls as well.

I had a great time at US Mint. No pictures, their is a no picture policy. It goes into detail on the mint process, it also talks about the history. From a distance you can see the machine that makes the coins with binocular in place to get a closer peak. At the very end before you leave it is set up to go through the gift shop.

Give yourself PLENTY of time before they close. At least an hour and a half, especially if you have little kids, elderly or are REALLY into coins. I understand they have to close and people need to clear out so they CAN, but jeez!We got pushed through the hall upstairs, but we got to see pretty much everything anyway. Im sure there were some neat little factoids that we missed though (like the coin dust in the carpet? Didnt see anything about that). But THAT guy wasnt too bad. The ones in the gift shop had a pretty bad attitude. No smiles, just TIME TO GO, MOVE TOWARD THE DOOR, WERE CLOSING, PEOPLE.I guess they have to be pushy and stern for those folks that think they can take forever to mosey themselves on toward the door, but not everyone needs or appreciates that kind of rude motivation.

I work there.

Such a great experience. And admission is free. Sorry, no photos allowed inside.

Free tour is awesome. the best part is seeing the actual factory

If youre in Philadelphia looking for things to do, this is a great experience that is also free! It was interesting to see how money is made as well as learning some of the history behind it!

Its a great place to be

An absolutely fascinating place to visit if you are in the historic area of Philadelphia. Its the real deal mint, the only catch is you cant really bring much in there with you, certainly not cameras. but, youll see interesting exhibits, and you can get to peek through windows at some of the money making what goes on inside this fortress like facility.

If you like coins or coin collecting a must see. Admission is free. There is a walk above so you can watch the workers. There are museum like display cases of coins and medals. You can buy medals here at the tourist sales shop.

Interesting self guided tour.After security, you ride the elevator to the top floor. Then you walk along looking at exhibits and through the windows to the actual production floor.Every now and then a mint employee will notice you and wave.Would have enjoyed taking photos.

A great place to learn about the history regarding the early coins used in the US. They offer guided tours through an enclosed catwalk which goes directly above the minting faculty to visitors, explaining the whole minting process. You can actually see the coins being made!

The Philadelphia Mint was an interesting location. Seeing how they make the money in real time is a very fun way to learn. The most impressive thing about the Mint was the Tiffany mosaic stain glass that was In the front lobby. Looking at these priceless works of art was breathtaking. People should know that they are standing underneath work of one of Americas greatest artist. This is on the level of Gaudi in Spain or Picasso in Paris. Do yourself a favour and when you walk in, just look up.

A self-guided wall-through of one of the US’s 4 working mints. This one makes coins only, not bills. Interesting to see the working mint part. The museum aspect is adequate. Kids likes seeing the coins being made. A nice hour-long diversion. No photography allowed inside.

I wish there could have been a exhibition; instead, there was only a shop with special coins.

We didnt see the US mint producing coins when we visited, the whole facilities were empty, except the very last packing spot. I’m still recommend this place, you will find many fun facts about coins, and learn many acknowledge through the tour hallway

Im a coin collector so this was an easy rate

Excellent tour

Fun and free self guided tour that breaks down the coin-making process, with exhibits and viewing windows to make the process come alive! Only downside is no pictures of the exhibits, so please enjoy this selfie of me in front of the mint.

Interesting place to visit, no wait to get in, and free. Takes about 45 minutes to get through the exhibit and to see the minting operation.

Beautiful place

Nice place to stop off in Philly. Free exhibit and access. While looking down on employees working, one lifted a few things (I think it was a medal) so we could see. Learned so interesting facts too. No photos allowed tho!

The Mint is worth a visit. Is it a must see? No, I dont think so. Is it interesting watching the production of our paper money? Yes. If you have never been to one of our Mints, its worth a trip.

It was ok. If I could give 3.5 stars, I would. Admission is free and you just walk along the path for a self-guided tour. I did learned some interesting things about coin making. But the experience could have been so much better. I understand that this is a federal facility. But the tour section is so closed off from where the magic happens that they really should have been able to make things more interesting for visitors. Just have a couple of friendly staff readily available to answer questions. I get that we cant take pictures of the machines and workers. But why cant they just set up a small corner where we can take pictures next to fake replicas of the stuff?

Free entrance! You can walk through and see where they make the coins we use every day. Very interesting!

Amazing self guided tour and its FREE! You will most definitely appreciate the artistry behind our coins more than ever!

Very nice to see the coins being made my class went here for our feild trip.

Its interesting to see how coins are made. It is a normal industry in the end.

Went on an interesting tour of the mint a couple years back. However, I blew all of my money on the gift shop.

My brother, father and I went here on a weekend. It is a self guided tour, but there is lots of informative/interactive signs as you go through the tour.It starts out by going through the history at the mint, then after you get through all of the history, it goes into the process of each coin in the mint.The signs that explain each step is very informative, and some of them are interactive.There is also lots of good views.I recommend it for those interested in coins. I know my family enjoyed it.(P.S. This mint is only coins, not dollars!!!!)

This was such a great tour. Thank you for having this open to the public like this!!

Tour guides wouldve made this great but a self guided tour just doesnt scratch the surface of the history and process. The very least they could do is create an audio tour. Glad it was free. Happy I did it but if youre pressed for time and its this or something else. Do the something else.

Great museum. Get to see the factory floor of where they mint the coins.

Came here last Friday for the free walking tour. Security was silly. I kept setting off the alarm which turned out to be a pack of cigarettes I had in my pocket. It was easier getting through Philly International than here. Honestly, very little to see. Most of the process is handled with robots although I did see about 5 human beings standing around doing nothing. I truly found this a very boring experience. Go if you are staying close by. We were literally across the street at the Wyndham.

This place is a must visit in Philadelphia. Spare at least 2 hours to visit this mint.. The glass window gives you a nice peek into the mint and the tour is really a self guided one that very clearly explains the step by step process of minting coins. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!The only sad part it that you cannot take pictures.

Very cool

Like most who visit, Im giving the Mint a 4 star review. Its pretty simple to imagine why. This is a free, self-guided tour of the Mints facilities. It starts be showing the entire coin minting process. Theres nothing about bills, just coins. Theyve definitely upgraded the tour since I went 6 years ago, but its still the same. It ends with a bit of history and theres some interactive activities scattered throughout, but its all about exciting as it seems. Its educational and I believe everyone should see the process at least once. I just wish there was a bit more.One final note for coin collectors, the gift shop is your direct route for buying the latest mint sets, but you could go online just as easily.

Great place to visit. Self-guided, really well explained. No photos allowed!

Self guided tour, with a few nice historic displays. Good explanation of the process on the walls with accompanying videos. Kids moved through relatively quickly, only stopping at the interactive experiences. The most boring part was the viewing of the actual minting process.

This was an awesome self guided and very well explained and presented tour. The guards and people there were so cordial and friendly... It was a cool experience to just see and learn how things were and are being done in the mint...

A very interesting, free self-guided tour. It was fascinating watching the coins being minted in person. There are placards and videos that explain the minting processes you see taking place on the factory floor below you.

Over here you can see how they make the American coins from scratch, you can see all the process from how they got the medals from how they design it and how they print a coin.. At the end of the tour you can buy all the medals that they made over there.Its a nice experience see how they make the coins that we use every day. Dont miss this tour its free and is a self tour

I like the self-guided tour. Keeps it flowing and lets you go at your own pace. Only complaint is that I wish the gift shop had sets of mint-specific coins instead of Denver and Philly mixed sets.

A fun look at how coins are made and Im sure it would be a real joy with the right tour guide but ours kept going on her speech, giving dirty looks at anyone who spoke at all, rushing people away from looking at anything too long and even requested people not laugh when a staffer down below held up a cute silly sign that said he loved his job. They also dont allow any drinks but have a vending machine right outside the tour. I would go somewhere else for a more fun experience but if you dont like soda and only care about a fast paced explanation of coins be my guest.

While in Philadelphia you must stop at the United States Mint, 151 N Independence Mall E, Philadelphia, PA 19106 and go on a self guided tour. No photography is allowed inside but you can certainly learn a lot about how our US coins are designed, fabricated and the minted from beginning to end. There are amazing displays to help guide you from beginning to end for all that you see along the tour.

Self guided tours show the actual production of pennies, nickles, dimes, quarters, and other coins. Good technical explanations, but I wish they would had tour guides to answer questions. Definitely worth the visit while in Philly.

Its a self-guided tour, with a lot of interesting and interactive exhibits. If youre the kind that gets bored at museums usually, I recommend coming during the week so that you can actually watch the mint running. All in all, a good place thats definitely worth a visit.

If this floats your boat then you will really enjoy this. Its a shame you cannot take pics. Maybe they should have an area where you can! Even if its just a set up of something. They are keeping costs down but a guide working the viewing area could add much more and ask some interesting questions. If your not into art. Give this a go.

I really enjoyed this tour. Witnessing how metal sheet is turned into coins we use every day is fascinating. The best part is that the tour is self guided so I could take as long as I wanted watching the process.

I work there and it is truly an honor to work for a government institution that actually makes money(profit) and does not put a drain on the American taxpayer.

Interesting tour. I have visited the mint multiple times. Check out the cemetery next door. Ben Franklins family is buried there as are many famous early Americans.

Free and totally worth it. It was fun for the kids and for us to see how coins are made and to see the demonstrations. Very interesting and informative.

Classic experience to see a working us mintgot two medals of JFK and Lincoln...love ‘em

We visited last week and it was very nicely done. very interactive and you can take as much time as you like. lots of information and history around it. much better than the currency printing in DC where we were rushed by a guide.

A great place to spend time and learn. Kids enjoy it. Its a self guided tour and free of cost. Must visit at least once.

I loved the tour I took here. It was pretty informative and really interesting.

Awesome place to visit & kill time, after getting your free ticket for Independence Hall tour (and waiting for start time).

Excellent self guided tour. Lots of information. No pictures allowed. Had an issue with a stuffed animal we bought and they were very willing to take care of the issue.

Very awesome to read about how coins are made, and you get an above look down into the factory and see coins being made before your eyes!

Self guided tour. Excellent place to visit if you are curious how coins are made. The gift shop is fantastic; filled with all sorts of collectibles and souvenirs.

If you live in the area, you pretty much have to visit this mint at least once. If you dislike lines, you can buy most of their products online. The building is the fourth version since the first was built in 1792, which by the way was tiny.

Nice tour place. They even have their own police force!

Nice, clean and good educational stop in Philly. Only downside is there wasnt anything being produced when we went. Possibly lunch break?

Nice place to learn more about what goes into producing our coin currency. Great tour and some heavy knowledge given to you throughout the tour.

Historical place to visit in Philadelphia and free.

Nice free tour, decent gift shop. Located with other great attractions. I recommend.

I was disappointed I work in City government in which we employ youth ages 14 to 17 during the summer. We took the youth on a trip to the US Mint, we thought it would be very interesting and exciting for them to see how the money they earned is made. Me and my supervisor spoke with someone at the mint trying to request a guided tour but they told us all tours are self guided. First, we had 2 buses and the mint did not allow us to be dropped off at the front door but another bus of seniors pulled up and they let them get out at the front door. 2nd we get in the mint and I am still confused. Me, my colleagues, and the youth didnt know what to do or where to go. Also the seniors had a guided tour. Really, I was told we couldnt get a guided tour. I think that the experience for all if us wouldve been so much more if we wouldve had a guided tour. Please consider a guided tour in the future for our young people. We want our young people to gain of wealth of knowledge and learn and grow. We as adults have to teach them we just cant throw information at them. My suggestion the mint should have arrows like most museums pointing to where to go next. Also we never saw anyone making coins. I will say that officer Kitchen and offer Bonjourno were very nice and it was a pleasure talking to them, honestly I learned more talking to those two officers while I was waiting to go in rather than when I actually went inside.

Very interesting museum with plenty to see and read. Several interactive exhibits that were quite engaging. Second mint Ive visited and by far the nicer of the two.

Remember to bring ur ID! I went there but that day the machines were not working so I only saw how they work through video they put there.From the security, counter and gift shop, all the staffs r friendly and helpful. I got some questions and they gave me so much info with smile :)

All things about the coins and how it is made

Terrible

Self Guided tour.This was fun and to get to the the action was great! The workers are friendly and wave back as well! The tour goes through the process and has interactive kiosks.4 out of 5 because they have broken Elevators and escalators. This prevents parents with strollers and Handicapped people difficulty to access the areas in which the tour take place.

It is a very amazing thing to see all of the money being made each day.

Interesting, and I could only find one flaw in the machinery. The tour was self-guided, too, and I prefer that to the guided ones. The displays were fairly engaging, and interactive.

This is here son when i whet there with my frinds it was amazing beause we all got to see how the cois were made.My favorit was when we got to see how they were made.I have quaastion for all of you do you whant to start a coin caltoin i know i did i have 2 dollar coins and a canada coin from 1861 and a penny to and qauter from 1776.

Super clean building, very interesting and educational visit, a must go place

Dont accidentally forget you have ANY kind of sharp object. Forgot I had my pocket knife and instead of throwing it away or just asking me to leave they dumped all my stuff in the floor, made me pick it up and said never come back. Silly rent a cop

Overall I had a nice visit, but the facility could use some updates, as could the self guided tour.
