Die Royal Canadian Mint (RCM, frz. Monnaie royale canadienne) ist die am 2. Januar 1908[1]gegründete Münzprägeanstalt Kanadas mit Sitz in Ottawa (320 Sussex Drive). Derzeitiger Präsident (Master of the Mint) und CEO ist seit dem 12. Juni 2006 Ian Bennett.

Als Crown Corporation unter Aufsicht des Minister of Public Works and Government Services stellt sie exklusiv den Kanadischen Dollar sowie 74 Fremdwährungen in Münzform her. Des Weiteren werden Gedenkmünzen sowie Silber- und Goldmünzen, darunter auch die bekannten Maple Leaf-Münzen produziert. Das Unternehmen produziert nach eigenen Angaben werktäglich 15 Millionen Münzen. Die kanadischen Dollarmünzen werden namens und im Auftrag des kanadischen Monarchen herausgegeben.

Sie unterhält heute nur eine Prägestätte, die sich in Winnipeg befindet und eine Fläche von 14.864 m² aufweist. Sie wurde 1975 errichtet und befindet sich in 520 Lagomodière Blvd., Winnipeg, Manitoba, R2J 3E7.

Seit dem Jahr 1979 besitzt die Royal Canadian Mint den Status einer National Historic Site.[2]
