Shanghai Mint Museum

　　The Shanghai Mint Museum is situated in the office building of the Shanghai Mint Co., Ltd., a "Shanghai Outstanding Historical Building" on the banks of the Suzhou River, covering an area of approximately 600 square meters. Among the many coin museums across the country, the Shanghai Mint Museum stands out with its unique focus on "minting craftsmanship." The museum features three exhibition halls: the "Modern Minting Technology Hall," the "Contemporary Minting Hall," and the "Mr. Bowers Donation Exhibition Hall." These halls display a wealth of archival treasures, including representative coin products, molds, equipment, minting techniques, and processes from various periods over the more than 90 years since the mint's establishment.

　　In 2010, the museum added the History Review and Mr. Bowers Donation Exhibition Hall, showcasing coin collections donated by the late renowned American numismatist Howard Franklin Bowers. These include two world-famous and extremely rare "Gold Standard Coins," rare coins produced by the Central Mint, as well as a collection of precious historical materials from the Central Mint’s archives, such as old maps and photographs.

　　Coins represent the honor of a nation and the interests of its people. Since its official opening on December 1, 2005, the Shanghai Mint Museum has remained committed to its public welfare mission, offering free admission to industry professionals and coin enthusiasts. It undertakes the honorable role of promoting coin knowledge, fostering coin culture, and providing patriotic education.
