Old+Mint+Features

When I went to the Old Mint, I saw one back door that was big and had a little square window to look out of and a half-circle mirror in the corner so they could see if anyone was hiding outside with a gun. There was a sliding door in front. It was bigger than I expected. There was a front garden. I sketched the front of the building with my group. I learned there is a casket “a basket” in the Mint. No one has ever found it…

The Mint has a front garden that is filled with grass and the Mint is on 88th Fifth Street. It took a while to complete it. Alfred B. Mullet built the Mint. One third of the national gold was stored in the Old Mint. Willy Brown bought the Old Mint for San Francisco. The Mint survived the 1906 earthquake. The Mint made $4 billion pieces of gold into coins.
