TheMünze Österreich, or Austrian Mint, is one of the world's leading mints. It mints all of Austria's circulating coins and prestigious collector coins and medals.

During the Mint's existence, a plethora of minting methods have been used. Until the 16th century, for example, the hammer was used for minting, followed by the cylinder, cradle and screw press. From 1830 to the present day, a ring press has been used for minting, which is currently capable of striking up to 750 coins per minute.

Over the years, several other mints have been established in Austria, for example in Graz, Krems, Salzburg and Innsbruck. In 1918, when the Austrian Republic began to take shape, the Vienna Mint became the main mint for Austria. And this status it still holds to this day.

Among other things, the Münze Österreich also supplies investment gold bars, which are produced for it by the Argor-Heraeus S.A. refinery, of which it also owns a quarter of the shares.
