History

The historic New Orleans Mint, established in 1838, played a significant role in expanding the United States Mint beyond Philadelphia. While Charlotte and Dahlonega Mints specialized in gold coins, the New Orleans Mint served the coining needs of the American South, producing both gold and silver coins until the Civil War. It resumed operations in 1879 and continued minting until 1909.
