The Monnaie de Paris is a government-owned institution responsible for producing France's coins. Founded in AD 864 with the Edict of Pistres, it is the world's oldest continuously running minting institution.
In 1973, the mint relocated its primary production to a facility in Pessac, and today the original facility in Paris, while still operational, functions primarily as a museum and is home to a collection of many ancient coins.
Monnaie de Paris acquired its autonomy and was granted legal personality by law no. 2006–1666 in 2007.In 2012, it was the first public institution to obtain the Living Heritage Company label.
