The United States Mint is the official mint of the United States, established in 1792 in Philadelphia. It ranks among the world’s most significant producers of investment coins and is responsible for striking all official U.S. coinage.
In the investment sector, it is most famous for the American Eagle and American Buffalo coins, which combine traditional American symbolism with high gold purity. The Buffalo reaches a purity of 999.9/1000, while the Eagle is struck in 22-karat gold with silver and copper alloys for enhanced durability. Both coins are legal tender of the USA, VAT-exempt, and globally recognized for their quality and reliability.
