Absolutely five out of five stars. A free tour, friendly employees, an amazing story, and am museum like appearance.

This is a historic building in Denver, and the interior is probably three stories tall. So appears as if the Mette has built an internal second story that takes visitors through all of the production areas. It is simply quite amazing.

They have coins, but the amount of items of a value that they have an addition to that is quite astounding. They have some of the original hand presses, scales, one of the original calculators ever built, and some of the original desks and books that were used for the accounting of this when it first open.

Very tight security as you would expect for a building that makes money and stores $80 billion worth of US gold.

The tour is conducted by members of the public affairs department escorted by US treasury police, so don’t even think tour guides. Instead, think historians who love to share their stories, walking around and visiting with you.

I went on a cold winter day with my daughter. We both had a good time. Because of the weather here, be prepared to stand outside in a pre-security line for about 20 minutes.

Check the list of prohibited/allowed items before you go. Even things like small purses are not allowed. So we bought my daughters small purse not knowing this when we get online at exactly the time we are supposed to be there. I asked the treasury police officer if I had time to run that back to my car so we didn’t miss our tour. I was again met by kindness With him telling me to take my time and that I was not going to miss anything.

Highly recommend, especially for people who live in town, and I’ve...

Was looking for something to do on my Denver layover and decided to come visit this place. First thing you should know is you have to arrive early when they open to get tickets as they are distributed first come first serve for free. There’s 4 entry times in the day. Once you have your ticket you should arrive to the location 30 minutes before to get in line to go through security. DO NOT BRING BAGS! you will not be allowed inside with anything bigger than a wallet!!! The security is the same as if you were going into an airport. Once inside you enter a lobby area with small exhibits on the history of currency. Then you get a short video explaining why that building exists. A tour guide will then guide you through 3 rooms explaining the coin making process and machines and how coin making today works. Lastly you proceed to a hallway/lobby which is literally stuck in time where they house the gold vaults. There you get to see some gold bars which was real cool! Then you exit through the building original lobby which was a true masterpiece with all the marble and chandeliers. It took 30-45 minutes for everyone to go through security but the tour itself was like 30 minutes. It’s an interesting tour but if you’re not a history geek or a coin collector chances are you’ll be disappointed, but hey it’s a free tour inside a historic government building where our nations coins are made! Also keep in mind cellphones will be required off when you enter the building and no pictures or...
