Following calls by Alexander Hamilton and other Founding Fathers for the nation to issue its own money, Congress passed legislation to officially establish the United States Mint in 1792. Growing from its humble beginnings as a collection of small buildings in the nation's onetime capital city of Philadelphia, the United States Mint now stands along Independence National Historical Park as the largest coin factory in the world. While the Philadelphia Mint is one of several official United States coin manufacturing facilities, it remains the heart of coining operations in the nation and is also one of the most popular attractions in \"The City of Brotherly Love.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540236668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540236661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43938219884799,"sku":"9781540236661","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6c96faed-e76e-4493-9904-ec2d9f9f1471.jpg?v=1681434439","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-united-states-mint-in-joshua-mcmorrow-hernandez-9781540236661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
