The only US mint ever located outside the continental United States
In short: Explore the forgotten history of the Manila Mint, a unique facility that produced coins for the Philippines during its transition from a US territory to a sovereign nation.
The Manila Mint holds a unique place in American history as the only facility of its kind established outside the continental United States. The coinage produced there, alongside coins minted within the US, serves as a numismatic record of the Philippines' journey from a colonial territory toward nationhood. This era was profoundly shaped by the geopolitical shifts of the two World Wars.
