Casa da Moeda de Portugal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Casa da Moeda de Portugal was the Portuguese mint, owned by the Portuguese government and administratively subordinated to the Ministry of Finances. It was established at least in the late 13th century.

It produced legal tender coins and banknotes. It also produced medals and security prints (i.e., passports, subway tokens, postage stamps) that are used and issued by government-run service providers.

In 1972 it was merged with the Imprensa Nacional into Imprensa Nacional Casa da Moeda through the Law Decree nr. 225/72 of July 4.
