The mint also makes bronze sculptures.

The Paris Mint's History

Monnaie de Paris has worked with precious metals for more than 1,150 years, dating back to its founding in 864. Despite the fact that, since 1878, only the Paris mint has been authorized to create circulating coins, various towns and cities have been minting their own coinage since the 9th century. In addition to Avignon, Bordeaux and Caen, some of the places having historical ties to the Monnaie de Paris are La Rochelle and Metz. Other towns with historical ties to the Monnaie de Paris include Montpellier and Nantes. Paris has historical ties to Pau and Pessac.

It's the earliest association that is French. From numerous commemorative coins, and the franc to the euro, Monnaie de Paris stays closely entwined with the history of its own coinage and France.
