Frequently Asked Questions

We can print a special message on the product packaging for select United States Mint products. You can use the message to add a personal touch (for example, “For the New Baby,” “Congratulations,” or “Happy Holidays”) to your gift. You may choose from more than 25 messages. Please note that we use “personalization” and “customization” interchangeably in this FAQ and on our website.

You will be charged $8.95 to personalize each product.

Pages containing products whose packages can be personalized have an “add personal message” checkbox on their web pages. When you select the checkbox, you will be able to choose gold or silver printing and select your personal message from the list provided.

If you are viewing a page that lists multiple products, you will see a “customize” note above products on whose case you can add a message from the personalization list.

The message is printed on the product’s case, not on the coin or medal itself. Here is an example of a personalized product case.

No. Our system does not have this capability. However, you can see how a typical message will look on the product’s case by clicking the “View Example” link near the “add personal message” checkbox on the product page. When you do this, you will see photograph(s) of the product with a sample message on its case.

Please note that you need to select a message color before the “View Example” link will appear. This is so we can show you a sample using the print color you chose.

The United States Mint offers a variety of products for personalization. You can view our list of products available for personalization here. We may add additional products to this program in the future.

While the personalization program is ongoing, personalization for specific participating products will be available through the last purchase date applicable to the product or until the product sells out, whichever is earlier. The United States Mint reserves the right to terminate the personalization program at any time.
