As Britain followed the rest of the world in decimalising its currency, the Mint moved from London to a new 38-acre (15 ha) plant in Llantrisant, Glamorgan, Wales, where it has remained since. The Royal Mint operated within the Tower of London for several hundred years before moving to what is now called Royal Mint Court, where it remained until the 1960s. The Royal Mint was historically part of a series of mints that became centralised to produce coins for the Kingdom of England, all of Great Britain, the United Kingdom, and nations across the Commonwealth. As well as minting circulating coins for the UK and international markets, The Royal Mint is a leading provider of precious metal products. Operating under the legal name The Royal Mint Limited, it is a limited company that is wholly owned by His Majesty's Treasury and is under an exclusive contract to supply the nation's coinage.

It is the oldest company in the United Kingdom and is currently located in Llantrisant, Wales, where it moved in 1968.

The Royal Mint is the United Kingdom's official maker of British coins.
