The Royal Mint of the United Kingdom is the body permitted to manufacture, or mint, coins in the United Kingdom. The Mint originated over 1,100 years ago, but has functioned since 1975 as a Trading Fund, operating in much the same way as a government-owned company.

  • The Royal Mint of the United Kingdom is the body permitted to manufacture, or mint, coins in the United Kingdom. The Mint originated over 1,100 years ago, but has functioned since 1975 as a Trading Fund, operating in much the same way as a government-owned company. It now has executive agency status, and is currently undergoing the process of being converted into a Government-owned business. The Royal Mint as a body reports to HM Treasury, though departmental day-to-day responsibilities are handled by the Shareholder Executive. As well as minting coins for the UK, it also mints and exports coins to many other countries, and produces military medals, commemorative medals and other such items for governments, schools and businesses, being known as the world's leading exporting Mint. Responsibility for the security of the site falls to the Ministry of Defence Police, who provide an armed contingent. The Royal Mint began to move its operations from Tower Hill, London to Llantrisant, South Wales, in 1968 and has operated on a single site in Llantrisant, since 1980, where it holds an extensive collection of coins dating from the 16th century onwards. The collection is housed in eighty cabinets made by Elizabeth II's cabinet maker, Hugh Swann. The annual Trial of the Pyx assays coins produced for the UK government for size, weight and chemical composition.
  • Royal Mint on Yhdistyneen kuningaskunnan hallituksen alaisuudessa toimiva metallirahan lyömiseen tarkoitettu laitos. Royal Mint on kansainvälisesti tunnettu, ja se on valmistanut kolikoita sadalle eri maalle. Royal Mintillä 1 100 vuoden pituinen historia, ja se kuuluu maailman johtaviin rahapajoihin. Käyttö- ja juhlarahojen lisäksi Royal Mint valmistaa myös mitaleita ja jonkin verran kunniamerkkejä. Royal Mint sai nykyiset tilansa Llantrisantista, Walesista, kun Britannia siirtyi LSD-rahajärjestelmästä desimaalijärjestelmään 1970-luvun taitteessa. Vanha rahapaja sijaitsi Lontoon Towerissa (Tower Hill).
  • The Royal Mint (en anglais, la Monnaie royale) est une agence exécutive du Royaume-Uni chargée de la frappe de la monnaie britannique, la livre sterling. Elle est en charge de la production des pièces de monnaie de circulation, des pièces commémoratives et de médailles officielles. La production de billets, par contre, est du seul ressort de la Banque d'Angleterre. Le siège de l'Hôtel des monnaies a longtemps résidé dans l'enceinte de la Tour de Londres, puis à proximité, sur Tower Hill. Actuellement, le site de production est centralisé à Llantrisant, en Galles du sud.
  • Royal Mint (den kongelige mynt) er foretaket som har ansvar for å lage mynter i Storbritannia. Organisasjonen har sin historie tilbake til år 886, da det første sentrale myntslageriet, London Mint, ble opprettet. Først i det 15. århundre fikk Royal Mint enerett på å slå mynt i Storbritannia. Den mest kjente sjefen for Royal Mint er Isaac Newton, som tiltrådte embetet i 1696. Royal Mint opererer nå som et Government Trading Fund, hvilket i praksis betyr at det drives som et statseid selskap. Foretaket slår ikke bare mynt for Storbritannia, men lager og eksporterer mynter til mange andre land. Den produserer også militære medaljer, minnemedaljer og lignende ting for staten, skoler og bedrifter. Royal Mint holder til i Llantrisant i Wales. Sikkerheten ivaretas av en bevæpnet enhet fra Ministry of Defence Police Mynter som produseres for staten har siden 1282 blitt kontrollert for størrelse, vekt og kjemisk sammensetning i den årlige Trial of the Pyx. Britiske sedler lages av Bank of England. I Skottland og Nord-Irland har alle etablerte banker rett til å lage sedler, mot å deponere et tilsvarende beløp i Bank of England.
