New United States Mint
155 Hermann Street
Built 1937
The "New" United States Mint was the third and final mint built in
San Francisco.
The original United States Mint & Subtreasury
was built on the waterfront in 1854. It was replaced in 1869 by a much larger
structure at the intersection of 5th and Mission Streets. This building
survived the 1906 Earthquake and Fire and continued to function as a mint
during the rebuilding of San Francisco. The 1869 "Old Mint" is
Califonia Landmark 875.
