Definition

• Spanish: Mint. A place where coins are manufactured. Normally mints produce coins under government authority, however, private mints may also produce medals and coins for small independent countries which can not afford their own coin minting facilities. In medieval England a mint was not a single building but various officials, coiners and craftsmen, handling coin making around a city. The old spelling of this word was zeca. The word is generally interchangeable with casa de la moneda.
