On Thursday, Kevin will showcase several coin displays and share information on the U.S. Mint in New Orleans. The New Orleans Mint operated in New Orleans as a branch mint of the United States Mint from 1838 to 1861 and from 1879 to 1909. During its years of operation, it produced over 427 million gold and silver coins of nearly every American denomination, with a total face value of over $307 million. It was closed during most of the American Civil War and Reconstruction.
