The Monnaie de Paris (Paris Mint) is a government-owned institution responsible for producing France's coins. Founded in AD 864 with the Edict of Pistres, [1] it is the oldest continuously running minting institution and one of the oldest extant companies in the world.
Faced with the increasing volume of coins to be minted, a new industrial facility was built in 1973 in Pessac, near Bordeaux, to handle all phases of regular coins production. In Paris, the Monnaie de Paris continues to produce collectible coins in precious metals, medals, official decorations, and art objects.
