The '''Royal Mint Museum''' is a numismatics museum located in Llantrisant, Wales, which houses coins, medals, artwork and minting equipment previous owned by the Royal Mint.<ref>{{cite web|title=The collection today|url=https://www.royalmintmuseum.org.uk/collection/|publisher=Royal Mint Museum|accessdate=17 Feb 2021}}</ref> Although the museum is located on the same site as the Royal Mint, the mint and the museum are separate companies. In partnership with the mint, a new £9 million visitor centre was built to allow members of the public to view part of the museum's collection.
==History== Following the privatisation of the Royal Mint in 2009, whereby it became a limited company, much of the mint's numismatic collection was separated into a separate entity now called the Royal Mint Museum. In November 2010 the museum gained charitable status.<ref>{{cite web|title=Our Governance|url=https://www.royalmintmuseum.org.uk/about-us/governance/|publisher=Royal Mint Museum|accessdate=17 Feb 2021}}</ref>
