The herb that shares its name with a place where coins are made is "mint," which is also a popular flavoring plant used in various culinary preparations. The word "mint" comes from the Latin term "moneta," which referred to the temple of Juno Moneta in ancient Rome, where the first Roman coins were minted. Today, the word "mint" is used to describe a facility where coins are produced, such as the United States Mint or the Royal Mint in the UK.
