"Whether it’s the reflective glass building that attracts you or the fact that coins are produced here for 70 different countries, this makes for a really cool Canadian mint tour with insight into currency production. Guides show visitors around the area while explaining all sorts of facts about money while also giving you the chance to hold a $600,000 gold bar and look at the beautiful Olympic gold medals that were made for Vancouver 2010. It’s not like you’ll find the Royal Canadian Mint everywhere you go, so if you’re in Winnipeg, this is a cool place to check out."
