West Point is located in upstate New York, near the city of Peekskill, New York. It was established as the United States Mint in March of 1988. It is also a landmark that is listed as a place or destination that has historical significance. This facility was once known as the West Point Bullion Depository. At one point, it hard the largest amount of Silver in the United States. The building itself, is a security steel concrete building, with a state of the security system in place. It is housed on a four acre of land, with the military academy on it’s immediate North side.
Around 1937, this facility did produce the coins that were circulated as part of the United States currency. It currently does not do that. It acts as a storage facility for the silver owned by the United States government. The facility has produced some historical coinage to signify historical events germane to the United States. Such as the coin that commemorated the Olympic Games that were held in Los Angeles in 1984. Today some coins are produced there to signify events having to do with the Military. The facility remains a private facility and is not open to the public for tours.
