Casa da Moeda do Brasil, Mint and heritage asset in Centro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Casa da Moeda do Brasil occupies an industrial complex of 110,000 square meters, housing advanced facilities for currency and document production.

Founded on March 8, 1694, by Pedro II of Portugal, the Brazilian mint began operations to establish monetary independence for the Portuguese colony.

The institution's Clube da Medalha, founded in 1977, connects collectors and promotes the study of numismatic artifacts throughout Brazil.

Visitors can access information about operations and services through the institution's Ouvidoria section, which maintains communication channels with the public.

During the 1980s, the mint produced currency and official documents for multiple South American and African nations lacking their own production facilities.
