FNMT: Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre was created in 1893 from the merging of two age-­‐
old organiza=ons, namely the Casa de la Moneda (The Mint) and the Fábrica del Sello (The Stamp Factory). These two en==es, even though they were self-­‐determining and under different managements, had been sharing the building in the Plaza de Colón since 1861.
