Royal Mint (Spain)

The Royal Mint of Spain (Spanish: Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre – Real Casa de la Moneda, abbreviated as FNMT-RCM) is the national mint of Spain. It is a public body, attached to the Ministry of Economy, responsible for producing coins, banknotes, stamps, and other official printed materials for the Spanish government.

The FNMT-RCM is composed of two distinct entities: the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda (National Mint), responsible for the production of coins, and the Real Casa de la Moneda (Royal Mint), originally founded separately and now responsible for the production of banknotes, security papers (like passports and ID cards), stamps, and other official printed materials. In 2015, both entities merged into a single entity under the name Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre – Real Casa de la Moneda.

Beyond its primary function of producing currency and official documents, the FNMT-RCM also engages in the production of commemorative coins, medals, and security features for other countries and organizations. It plays a significant role in preserving Spain's numismatic heritage and promoting its artistic traditions through its various publications and exhibitions. The Royal Mint of Spain also maintains a museum showcasing its history and the evolution of Spanish coinage and banknotes.
