Singapore Mint
The Singapore Mint is a Singaporean mint manufacturer. The Singapore Mint is a fully owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Industries.
The Singapore Mint was established in 1968 as a basic minting facility to produce circulation coins for Singapore. It produced Singapore's first and second series of circulation coins.
In 1984, the Brunei Currency Board, of newly independent Brunei, ordered four million circulation coins and 8,000 sets of commemorative coins. The one cent coin was struck in bronze with the five, ten, twenty and fifty cents coins in cupro-nickel. The commemorative coin set included a one dollar coin which is struck in cupro-nickel. The 50 cents and 1 dollar coin have additional security feature with a reeded edge with dots between lines at regular interval while other countries' circulation coins are mill-edged.
On 13 November 1987, the Board of Commissioners of Currency, Singapore appointed Singapore Mint as the sole sales agent for commemorative coins issued by the Board. The mint also became the exclusive marketing agent and distributor of Singapore gold bullion coins.
The mint currently also produces other countries' circulation coins.
On 21 February 2013, the Monetary Authority of Singapore announced a third series of Singapore circulation coins but the contract to produce the coins went to the Royal Canadian Mint.
The Singapore Mint has 3 retail stores.
In 1983, a Coin Gallery, located at Jalan Boon Lay, was opened by the Singapore Mint to the public as a mini museum showing the history of Singapore coinage. As the gallery is located in the restricted premises of Chartered Industries of Singapore, arrangements need to be made to visit the gallery.
