HC Deb 12 May 1967 vol 746 cc313-4W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the section of the Mint which is to be built at Llantrisant will produce British coins or foreign coinage.

Mr. Callaghan

The first task of the Royal Mint at Llantrisant will be to produce the new decimal coinage. At a later stage the work on foreign coinage at present done by the existing Royal Mint will also be centralised at Llantri sant, which will then have the permanent task of minting both British and foreign coins.
