Historical United States mints

Historical United States mints

The following is a list of United States mints, past and present:

Between 1965–1967 all coins were struck without mint marks, in the belief that a coin shortage was due to zealous coin collectors. The real reason was the removal of most silver from the coinage, which led to hoarding of silver-based coins as predicted by Gresham's Law.

Pioneer coinage, tokens, private issue coins and paper money do not have official mint marks.
