Commentary
L’emblématique “Old Mint” est historiquement le second édifice abritant la frappe de monnaie à San Francisco. Construit entre 1869 et 1874, il est un des rares bâtiments à avoir survécu au tremblement de terre de 1906 et à l’incendie qui a suivi. Les activités de frappe ont été déménagé dans un nouveau et actuel bâtiment en 1937.
