Royal Mint Museum
The Royal Mint Museum is a numismatics museum located in Llantrisant, Wales, which houses coins, medals, artwork and minting equipment previous owned by the Royal Mint.[1] Although the museum is located on the same site as the Royal Mint, the mint and the museum are separate companies. In partnership with the mint, a new £9 million visitor centre was built to allow members of the public to view part of the museum's collection.

History
Following the privatisation of the Royal Mint in 2009, whereby it became a limited company, much of the mint's numismatic collection was separated into a separate entity now called the Royal Mint Museum. In November 2010 the museum gained charity status.[2]

gollark: Oh no.
gollark: How come you've got weird punctuation on some of the files like `#node_class.py#` though?
gollark: I mostly prefer to get sort-of-working things done first, and tweak them until they work better, myself. Your thing seems interesting.
gollark: The sidebar bit is going to eventually contain stuff like search and quick shortcuts, but I haven't actually implemented that.
gollark: The current version isn't actually on there because I... don't really know how to use git very well, and it's quite unfinished, and the old version is designed very differently. I have this picture, though, showing its rough UI so far, the markdown rendering capability, and the "recent pages" bit at the side (I might move that).
