Since opening the Mint in 1968, the Queen has paid us a second visit in May 1997 and the Prince of Wales has returned twice – once to begin production of the first £1 coins in 1982 and more recently to visit the Royal Mint Experience. There have also been other high profile visits: David Cameron held a meeting of the Cabinet here in 2011, and the First Minister of Wales came in 2009, to say nothing of the succession of Chancellors of the Exchequer who since 1870 have held the title of Master of the Mint. In this capacity Sir Geoffrey Howe was accompanied by his wife, who cheerfully signed the Visitors Book as Mistress of the Mint.

Over the last 50 years members of overseas royal families, such as the Crown Prince of Japan, have been welcomed to Llantrisant, as well as ambassadors, ministers of finance, Olympic athletes and even celebrities such as Adam Faith. Bucks Fizz actually performed at the Royal Mint before their Eurovision win in 1981 and other events such as the Welsh Monopoly Championship have been hosted on site. The Royal Mint Experience opened in May 2016 and in its first two years of operation 200,000 people have come through its doors.
