A mint is an industrial facility which manufactures coins that can be used in currency.

The history of mints correlates closely with the history of coins.

In the beginning, hammered coinage or cast coinage were the chief means of coin minting, with resulting production runs numbering as little as the hundreds or thousands.

In modern mints, coin dies are manufactured in large numbers and planchets are made into milled coins by the billions.

In finance, a futures contract (more colloquially, futures) is a standardized forward contract which can be easily traded between parties other than the two initial parties to the contract.

The parties initially agree to buy and sell an asset for a price agreed upon today (the forward price), with delivery and payment occurring at a future point, the delivery date.

Because it is a function of an underlying asset, a futures contract is a derivative product.
