Too short, I want more!

Man, that's quite the editing time! Looks like the video was shot in 2018 (note they were striking Voyageurs quarters and the cent picture on the wall for the inspection was from 2018).
Other than that, really cool!

I wish Philly was that efficient. 😉

I toured the Denver mint back in 1988. I don't remember it being that quiet or organized looking. What I find amazing is that high MS examples are even found considering the sheer volume of coins being produced and dumped into large totes.
I remember visiting the Philadelphia Mint when I was a child back in the late 1960's. Back then you were up like on a balcony and were looking down through a window of the actual happenings. Sometime workers would wave up to you. Now, the tor is basically all virtual. It was really neat watching the actual happenings.

I have had floor tours of several mints, the first in 1968. The noise used to be incredible. Nowadays the presses are enclosed in metal boxes that muffle much of the noise.
I’ve been lucky enough to take detailed floor tours of the Philadelphia Mint Denver Mint,
And the West Point depository, and later, the West Point mint.
Four tours of the Philadelphia, mint, and two each of Denver and West Point,
Including the die production room, and area at Philadelphia, and the huge cage at West Point
That contained at the time(2009) gold bars worth about $14 billion-Gold was about 850 or so at the time as I recall. We were able to hold the huge gold bars that weighed about 60 pounds each – I have pictures but don’t have easy access to them right now. Dave Camire at NGC was able to get those tours For both of us.
