In 1739, the Royal Danish Mint, which had previously operated on a subcontractor basis, became an independent institution in Copenhagen. When absolute monarchy was abolished in 1849, administration of the Royal Danish Mint was transferred to the Ministry of Finance and, briefly, to the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
In 1975, Danmarks Nationalbank took over the administration of the Royal Danish Mint.
The Royal Danish Mint has been situated at various locations in Copenhagen, including at the corner of Holbergsgade and Herluf Trolles Gade (1873-1923). In 1923-78, a building at Amager Boulevard 115 housed the Royal Danish Mint.
In 1978, the Royal Danish Mint moved to its present facilities at Solmarksvej in Brøndby.
