Strike Your Own Coin
The Royal Mint is transforming as a business, and as part of our evolution, we're enhancing our Royal Mint Experience tours to showcase these new and exciting areas of our business to visitors. To allow us to make these changes, visitors will not be able to see The Royal Mint’s Circulating Coin Factory in operation.

Since The Royal Mint Experience opened its doors in 2016, we have welcomed thousands of visitors from all across the world. The combination of enthralling history, interesting facts and fun activities has made us a destination for tourists of all ages and helped us to build a reputation as one of the most worthwhile places to visit in South Wales. Ensuring The Royal Mint Experience lives up to its name, every visitor has the opportunity to strike their very own coin as part of the tour, providing each guest with something truly unique to take home at the end of their visit. While the design of the coin may change depending on what theme we are celebrating at the time of your visit, striking your own coin is an experience that’s truly one of a kind.
