Monnaie de Paris

Monnaie de Paris is France’s oldest institution and one of the world’s oldest enterprises. It was in 864, with the promulgation of the edict of Pîtres, that Charles II – Charles the Bald – decided to create a Parisian monetary workshop attached to the Crown, in addition to eight other workshops in the provinces.
As the only workshop in France to produce without interruption since its creation, the Parisian workshop imposed itself during the Ancien Régime as the leading one in the kingdom.
