# mint-price
## Definition
The official price at which the mint will coin gold or silver bullion into currency, representing the quantity of coin that the mint gives in return for standard bullion. Smith explains that in England, the mint price of gold is three pounds seventeen shillings and tenpence halfpenny per ounce, while the mint price of silver is five shillings and twopence per ounce, with no duty or seignorage charged on coinage.
## Source Chapter
Book 1, Chapter 5: "OF THE REAL AND NOMINAL PRICE OF COMMODITIES, OR OF THEIR PRICE IN LABOUR, AND THEIR PRICE IN MONEY."
## Context
Smith discusses mint price while explaining the relationship between coin and bullion values and the mechanisms that maintain monetary stability. He notes that the market price of bullion has historically fluctuated around the mint price, with sustained deviations indicating problems with the coinage system that require reform.
## Economic Domain
Regulation
## Smith's Original Wording
"Three pounds seventeen shillings and tenpence halfpenny (the mint price of gold) certainly does not contain, even in our present excellent gold coin, more than an ounce of standard gold."
## Modern Interpretation
Mint price represents the official conversion rate between raw precious metals and minted currency, establishing the monetary value assigned to precious metals by the state. In modern terms, this concept relates to the historical role of precious metals in monetary systems and the transition to fiat currency. It underlies modern discussions of monetary standards, currency valuation, and the relationship between commodity and monetary values.
