The Royal Mint Museum is a numismatics museum located in Llantrisant, Wales, which houses coins, medals, artwork and minting equipment previous owned by the Royal Mint.[2] Although the museum is located on the same site as the Royal Mint, the mint and the museum are separate companies. In partnership with the mint, a new £9 million visitor centre was built to allow members of the public to view part of the museum's collection.
Following the privatisation of the Royal Mint in 2009, whereby it became a limited company, much of the mint's numismatic collection was separated into a separate entity now called the Royal Mint Museum. In November 2010 the museum gained charitable status.[3]
