A Neoclassical edifice, the Hôtel de la Monnaie was designed by Jacques-Denis Antoine and built from 1767–1775 on the Left Bank of the Seine.

La fabuleuse et mythique histoire de la monnaie peut se résumer en trois âges et deux fonctions principales : l’âge de la monnaie marchandise, celui de la monnaie papier (la monnaie fiduciaire) et, enfin, l’âge de la monnaie bancaire (la monnaie scripturale).
Or, si nous remontons l’histoire des civilisations, on s’aperçoit que les métaux précieux ont été utilisés comme monnaie, non pas en raison d’une valeur intrinsèque objectivement mesurable, mais bien parce qu’ils emportaient tout simplement la confiance des hommes qui les utilisaient.
Et Keynes de préciser : « c’est par cette voie et de cette manière, que la quantité de monnaie pénètre dans le schème économique ».
