I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    I thought that The Elysee Palace (the French equivalent of The White House) was supposed to be the focal point of today's Yellow Vest demonstrations.

    The Monnaie de Paris is maybe three-quarters of a mile away (maybe a little more) and on the opposite side of the Seine river from the Elysee Palace. It's walkable, but not short.

    The Monnaie has upper-level administrative offices, a few workshops for medals and such, a sales gallery, and a nice museum on the historic central Paris site.

    Circulation Coinage production is in Pessac, a suburb of Bordeaux, hundreds of miles from Paris.
