Denver, Carson City, and New Orleans.

[HiHoAudio]

The United States has (or has had) mints in eight cities, these being Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco, West Point, New Orleans, Carson City, Dahlonega and

Charlotte.

 

Denver and Carson City are current state capitals while Philadelphia and New Orleans are former state capitals.

 

[Art-migration]

As far as I can find.

 

Philadelphia

Denver

 

Neat contest.

[MercuryMan]

These were State Capitals at some point that had US Mints:

 

Philadelphia

 

Denver

 

San Francisco (temporary Capital)

 

New Orleans, Louisiana

"In fact, when the capital of French Louisiana was moved from

Mobile, Alabama to New Orleans, the French colonial government cited

New Orleans' inland location as one of the reasons for the move, as

it would be less vulnerable to hurricanes" (ironic, )

 

 

These were not really State Capitals but were Capitals that have or had mints:

 

Carson City, Nevada

"Carson City became the capital of the Nevada Territory"

 

Manila in the Philippines, which was then a U.S. colony

"the City of Manila, is the capital of the Philippines"

 

 

Mints that were not ever in a Capital City:

 

Charlotte, North Carolina

Dahlonega, Georgia

West Point

 

 

Thanks for the education and the Numisma-Quest.
