Gram Rolls Into Town To Make Some Money!

After a long train ride from Edmonton; Gram rolls in and stays a few days with us. During her stay she made money in Winnipeg at the Royal Canadian Mint.

A $400,000 brick of 99.99% pure Gold. It weighs 28 pounds and is guarded at all times.

A coin stamping machine (the same as a production machine) is out in the gift shop to strike your own coin medallion. This is where we all made money!
