Thanks to 9/11, it's not as easy to tour the Denver Mint. Still, you can go to the Mint Monday thru Friday and reserve a space for that day's tour.
This is a rare opportunity to see exactly how money is made. Visitors learn how this money factory churns out between 14 and 20 billion coins each year! The gift shop allows you to spend your money to buy more money...what a novel idea! The mint is an interesting diversion from traditional Denver tours.
PROS: Unique opportunity to see how coins are created
CONS: No on-site parking, but many lots nearby
