The Monnaie de Paris – the French Mint – is a state-owned industrial and commercial company (EPIC). The current French mint facility is in Paris. There have been numerous French mints in modern times, i.e. since the French Revolution. These mints include cities outside of the traditional French borders as a result of the French Empire and other political events.
