History
When first established in Ottawa in 1908, the Royal Canadian Mint operated as the Ottawa branch mint of the British Royal Mint. In 1931, Canada became an independent dominion of the British Empire and the assets of the Mint were transferred to the Canadian government. In December 1931, the Mint was established as the Royal Canadian Mint and as a branch of the Department of Finance via an act of Parliament. In April 1969, the Royal Canadian Mint was incorporated as a Crown corporation via the Royal Canadian Mint Act for the purpose of minting coins and associated activities.
