Abstract:
Designed by William Strickland and built in 1835, the Charlotte Federal Mint was erected in America's first gold-mining region. Nearly destroyed by fire in 1844, the Charlotte Mint served as a Confederate headquarters during the Civil War. Although reopened after the close of the war, currency production never resumed.
