Computing | MINT Mint Is Not TRAC MiNT |
Bible | Mint (Gr. heduosmon, i.e., "having a sweet smell"), one of the garden herbs of which the Pharisees paid tithes (Matt. 23:23; Luke 11:42). It belongs to the labiate family of plants. The species most common in Syria is the Mentha sylvestris, the wild mint, which grows much larger than the garden mint (M. sativa). It was much used in domestic economy as a condiment, and also as a medicine. The paying of tithes of mint was in accordance with the Mosiac law (Deut. 14:22), but the error of the Pharisees lay in their being more careful about this little matter of the mint than about weightier matters.

Literature | Mint So called from the nymph Minthe, daughter of Cocytus, and a favourite of Pluto. This nymph was metamorphosed by Pluto's wife (Proserpine) out of jealousy, into the herb called after her name. The fable is quite obvious, and simply means that mint is a capital medicine. Minthe was a favourite of Pluto, or death, that is, was sick and on the point of death; but was changed into the herb mint, or was cured thereby. "Could Pluto's queen, with jealous fury storm And Minthe to a fragrant herb transform?" Qvid. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

The word mint can refer to a facility which manufactures coins.
Mint is a perennial herb that is used to flavor food, candy, teas, breath fresheners, antiseptic mouth rinses, and toothpaste. The underlying minty scent is due to menthol. Mint is a vigorous, spreading plant that tolerates a wide range of conditions. There are hundreds of varieties but only 15 are common. Seven of theses varities are Australian, the others are Eurasian.
Some common varieties include
The variety sold as "pineapple mint" is particularly mild and popular.
- spearmint
- peppermint
- chocolate mint
- fruit mints
- lemon balm
- bergamot
Pennyroyal resembles mint, but has a much stronger odor and flavor and also potentially harmful medicinal effects.
Mint was originally used as a medicinal herb viewed as a cure for stomach and chest pains. Mint was brought over the North America by early settlers and became commonly used as a flavouring.
Classification: Mints are members of the mint family, Lamiaceae.

A mint is a facility which manufactures coins for currency.It should come as little surprise that the history of mints correlates very closely with the history of coins. One difference is that the history of the mint is normally related in a fashion that more closely ties to the political situation of the day. For example, when discussing the history of the New Orleans Mint, the usage of that mint by confederate forces beginning in 1861 comes up quickly. The origins of the Philadelphia Mint which began operations in 1792 and first produced circulating coinage in 1793 are most often related within the political context of the time.
Another topic that is often discussed when talking about mints is the manufacturing history of the process of making coins. In the beginning, hammered coinage or cast coinage were the only choices. In more modern mints, coin dies are manufactured in large numbers and planchets are made into coins by the billions.
There have been hundreds if not thousands of mints in the history of world coinage. Each city-state in ancient Greece had it's own mint. Roman mints were spread far and wide across the empire, and used extensively for propaganda purposes. One way people knew there was a new emperor was when he minted coins with his (or her) portrait on it. Many of the emperors that ruled only for a very short time made sure that they got their portrait on some coins. Quietus, for example, ruled only part of the empire from 260-261 AD, yet he issued several coins bearing his image.
The history of the current United States Mint began with the constitution. Alexander Hamilton was a key figure in the history of the early mint, and is credited with supporting the decimal system of coinage Robert Morris proposed that we use today. Prior to this, a system of eigths was most common, as in pieces of eight. On April 2, 1792, Congress passed The Coinage Act providing for the construction of the Philadelphia mint and providing the means to actually mint coins for the new republic.
David Rittenhouse was a scientist and the first Director of the Mint. One of the more interesting stories of the early mint is that Martha Washington had some of the family silverware minted into half dimes by the fledgling mint. The history surrounding the outbreak of yellow fever during the summer and autumn of 1793, the near desertion of Philadelphia, and the delays this caused in the minting of some of the first coins is also an interesting tome. David Rittenhouse retired in 1795 and died of cholera on June 26, 1796.
Henry Voight was the first Superintendent and Chief Coiner, he is credited with some of the very first coin designs.
Another important position at the mint is that of chief engraver. The chief engraver these include such men as Frank Gasparro, William Barber, Charles E. Barber, James B. Longacre, Christians Gobrecht and Anthony C. Paquet among others. George T. Morgan was also an engraver at the mint responsible for designing an important silver dollar.

The Royal Mint is the name of the body permitted to make (mint) coins in the United Kingdom. Their work and history is discussed below.The Royal Mint originated over one thousand years ago, but is now (since 1975) a Government Trading Fund, operating in much the same way as a government owned company, that not only mints coins for the UK, but also mints and exports coins to many other countries. It also produces military medals, commemorative medals and other such items for governments, schools and businesses.
The mint is now on a single site in Llantrisant, South Wales.
