Rolling coin, amass the crowd! It is the oldest French institution and the oldest company in the world! And yes the Monnaie de Paris is officially created in 864 with the Edict of Pitres . Charles II decreed the creation of a single Parisian workshop attached to the Crown, with the aim of restoring a territorial monetary unit. Today, she is mainly in charge of the production of the collection currency but also official decorations and military. Go to the shop if you have a (secret) passion for coins.
