A lesson learned

My wife and I are touring Denver for the first time. We decided to tour the Denver Mint. Well, when we arrived we learned that tours are by appointment only, and are made through the Mint's web site. We also learned that the tours are currently booked through the next three weeks. A lot of begging got us nowhere, so we'll have to plan ahead if we ever get back to this part of the Country.image

    Well that's just not right...

    I know, go back there tomorrow and tell them I said it was okay if you took the tour then.

    Let me know how that works out for you.

    If you're in Philadelphia, don't even take your purse or a fanny pack with you trying
    to tour the mint there. Leave them all in your car. You can't take anything in except
    the wallet in your pocket. But you can walk in without an appointment.

    Ah, you should've told them that you didn't want to visit the mint where all of the errors are made anyway.

    I think the Philadelphia facility is the only mint that does not require reservations although the wait can be a very long one on weekends and in the summer.

    Thankfully I have read similar posts on this same topic on these forums over the past couple of years so I have learned through the actions of others thankfully.......in case I ever make it to a city that has a US Mint. Good luck with future visits.
