Did You Know.. ?
The Royal Canadian Mint was the first to launch a major platinum initiative. In a single year, we bought a major portion of Russia's platinum supply. Platinum presents particular challenges for minting, since the ingots tend to be full of air holes. The Royal Canadian Mint's engineers developed a special refining technique which eliminated the holes - and enabled us to cast the world's largest-ever platinum bar.
Our ISO 9001-2000 certification means that the Royal Canadian Mint meets and is committed to maintaining the International Organization for Standardization external quality-assurance standards for production, installation and servicing.
The Royal Canadian Mint has established, documented, implemented and maintains a Quality Management System. The Mint continually improves the System's effectiveness in accordance with the requirements of this International Standard.
Specifically, the Mint has: - Identified the processes needed for the Quality Management System and their application throughout the company - Determined the sequence and interaction of these processes - Determined criteria and methods needed to ensure that both the operation and control of these processes are effective - Ensured the availability of resources and information necessary to support the operation and monitoring of these processes - Monitored, measured, analyzed these processes - And implemented actions necessary to achieve planned results and continual improvement of these processes.
Control at every step Throughout every stage of production, rigorous process control ensures that each coin and blank meets the standards set by clients and maintains our uncompromising visual requirements. Advanced computer technologies bring precision and efficiency to manufacturing, packaging and shipping.
Our Quality Policy Our mandate at the Royal Canadian Mint is to provide our customers with the highest quality products in the minting industry. The Mint will continuously improve its products to meet or exceed customer expectations. We will deliver defect-free and cost-effective products and services in a timely manner.
