This year marks an exciting chapter for The Royal Mint Experience, with the launch of a brand-new tour in 2025. This updated experience invites visitors to witness the innovative directions The Mint is taking, including its groundbreaking gold recovery technology.

This sustainable initiative highlights The Mint’s commitment to a greener future and adds a modern twist to our centuries-old tradition of excellence.
For those seeking the unusual, The Royal Mint offers plenty of surprises.
