💸 Royal Canadian Mint: Where Gold & Silver Pile Up… Cheap

#RomanticLifeChronicles Visited the Royal Canadian Mint. Two takeaways: Gold and silver really DO pile up in a room 🤑⚖️ Maple Leaf 9999 gold coins are ~6% cheaper than HK gold bars 😲💡 ⚠️ No photos allowed inside! So let me paint the picture: This isn’t a museum—it’s a real factory churning out investment/collector coins (circulation coins made in Winnipeg). We walked over transparent glass walkways above workers turning gold/silver blobs into shiny coins. 🛠️ The Process: Melt → Cool → Press → Mold. No high-tech secrets (they ain’t showing tourists the anti-counterfeit magic 🧙♂️), but the commentary was fun! Juicy tidbits: 100kg gold coin "disappearing" from a German museum 😱 Dubai tycoon using 100kg gold as a coffee table 🤯 🤏 Touching Gold: Held a 10kg gold bar! Stared at mountains of wealth… which, tbh, wasn’t as blindingly shiny as expected. Rich people problems, eh? 😂 💸 Price Shock: Grabbed a price list from the gift shop. Did math later—1oz Maple Leaf coin is ~6% cheaper than HK gold bars (but BUY FROM THE WEBSITE, NOT THE GIFT SHOP! 💸). 📍 Details: Address: Royal Canadian Mint, 320 Sussex Drive Tickets: Adults 12,Kids8, Under 4 FREE, Family 30(wepaid22 for 2+2 🤫) Book: Call/online form.
