Antigua Casa de Moneda de México, Colonial mint building in Centro Histórico, Mexico City.
The three-story stone structure features large arched windows, carved stone details, and a central courtyard with traditional Mexican architectural elements.
The mint, established in 1535 by Spanish viceroy Antonio de Mendoza, stands on the former site of Moctezuma's meditation house.
The building now houses the National Museum of Cultures, displaying exhibits about global civilizations and Mexico's monetary history.
Located near the Zócalo metro station, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM with free admission.
The coins produced here became the foundation for several modern currencies, including the United States dollar and Chinese yuan.
