Mint

Gold IRA Glossary

A facility that manufactures coins, rounds, or bars. Sovereign mints, such as the United States Mint and the Royal Canadian Mint, are government operations whose coins carry legal tender status, while private mints produce rounds and bars without face value. For IRAs, metals must come from a national government mint or an accredited private refiner or manufacturer.
