Japan Mint was opened in Osaka in 1871, shortly after the Meiji Restoration when Japan embarked on modernization, with a view to introducing a unified coinage system to the new modern state. Since then, Japan Mint celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2021 has continued to manufacture and supply coins, which are the foundation of economic activities and people’s lives, and has witnessed the development of the nation. Operations undertaken by Japan Mint also includes manufacturing orders and manufacturing commemorative coins, and selling coin sets. Japan Mint remains committed to ensuring transparent and efficient operations, earning the trust of the Japanese public, and meeting the expectations of society, both in Japan and abroad.
