New Orleans Mint

The New Orleans Mint is the oldest surviving structure in the United States of America to have served as a mint. The operation started from 1838 – 1861 and again from 1879-1909. It is a National History landmark. In 1909, the Treasury officials refused to carry on with the functioning of the Mint and in 1911, the New Orleans Mint was formally decommissioned and the machinery was transferred to the main U. S. Mint facility in Philadelphia. It then became an assay office for the U.S. Treasury, then as a federal prison, then as a storage facility for the Coast Guard. It was the most famous fallout center during the Cold War.
Since 1981, it has functioned as a museum of the mining activity. The Mint is located at 400 Esplanade Ave., close to the Mississippi River. In 2005, the Hurricane Katrina damaged the museum from the roof ways and the New Orleans Jazz Collection was damaged by 3%. The museum was then renovated and restored and it reopened on October, 2007. However, the Jazz Collection is still under restoration and is expected to come out in 2009. This place must be visited by tourists to have a glimpse of the structure and the vast exhibition of the minting activity.
