Why is money called mint?
The term 'mint' is associated with money due to its historical LINK to a place where coins are made, known as a mint. This derivation stems from the Roman times, where a temple to the goddess Juno Moneta was later converted into a coin minting facility. Over time, 'mint' evolved to refer not just to the place of coin production but also to the act of coining money and by extension, to money itself, especially when referring to a large amount or in perfect condition.
