The Monnaie de Paris (Paris Mint) is a government-owned institution responsible for producing France's coins. Founded in AD 864 with the Edict of Pistres,^[1] 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.^[2]

In 2012, it was the first public institution to obtain the Living Heritage Company label.

At the end of September 2017, Monnaie de Paris reopened after renovation work.
