Congress issues an act that will let America get a fresh start with our currency and financial system. On April 2, 1792, Congress passed the National Currency Act requiring a building to be made for a minting facility. The stone foundation was laid in the summer of 1792, and eventually, three buildings were constructed which made up the original US Mint in Philadelphia.
George Washington appointed David Rittenhouse to be the first director of the Mint. According to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton, he was a self-educated genius, widely famous for his profession and integrity, which made him a good person for the job.
