	United States Mint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The United States Mint is responsible for producing and circulating coinage for the United States to conduct its trade and commerce.
		The Mint was made an independent agency in 1799, and under the Coinage Act of 1873, became part of the Department of the Treasury.
		During its two stints as a minting facility, it produced both gold and silver coinage in eleven different denominations, though only ten denominations were ever minted there at one time (in 1851 silver three-cent pieces, half dimes, dimes, quarters, half dollars, and gold dollars, quarter eagles, half eagles, eagles, and double eagles).
