Etymology of MINTED
The word "minted" is derived from the noun "mint", which refers to a place where coins are produced, or the process of manufacturing coins. The etymology of "mint" can be traced back to the Old English word "mynet", which in turn comes from the Latin word "moneta". This Latin term originally referred to the temple of Juno Moneta in Ancient Rome, which was used for minting coins. Gradually, the word "moneta" came to be associated with the process of coin manufacturing and eventually gave rise to the English word "mint". Consequently, "minted" emerged as the past participle of "mint", describing something that has been produced or created using a minting process.
