Mints
A mint is a facility that strikes legal tender coinage, bullion coins, or other physical precious metal products. There are essentially 2 subcategories of mints, government mints, and private mints. At BGASC, you’ll find an array of mints to choose from, including several reputable government and private mints. Learn more about mints right here, at BGASC.
Private Mints
Private mints are owned and operated independently of a national government. Because they don’t work with a national government, this means that they can produce rounds, bars, and other precious metals products but not coins. In order to make coins, they need to work with a foreign government. For example, the Scottsdale Mint is a private facility but issues coins on behalf of foreign governments like Ghana, Samoa, and others.

Government Mints
Government mints, or oftentimes called sovereign mints, are run by a national government. Government mints are responsible for doing everything a private mint does, but they also produce bullion coinage, as well as circulation coinage. Government mints have a strict set of guidelines to make sure the weight, face value, and purity of each physical item are guaranteed.
