CORONADO

The U.S. Mint in Denver, which looks like a Florentine palace inside and out, manufactures eleven billion coins a year (and all are marked with a "D" for Denver). And, courtesy of Norwest Bank, antique coins, including gold ones, are also on display. A guided tour explains it all and offers tour participants the opportunity to trade greenbacks for gold coinage. West Colfax Ave. and Cherokee St. 303-405-4761
