In 1838, the United States Government established a branch mint here at Dahlonega. By 1861, when the Confederacy took it over, it had minted $6,115,569 in gold coins. The building was transferred to the state of Georgia in 1871 for educational purposes, burned in 1878, and the present building was erected in 1879 on the old foundations of the mint.
