The power to coin money is an expressed power. This is a power that is provided to Congress in Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution.
Article 1 Section 8 of the US Constitution states that "The Congress shall have Power To:..." (among other things) "To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;" Clearly it is the Federal government that has the right to coin money.
The branch of government that has the authority to coin money in the United States is the legislative branch, specifically Congress. This power is granted to Congress by the U.S. Constitution in Article I, Section 8, which outlines the enumerated powers of Congress. The executive branch, headed by the President, does not have the authority to coin money. The judicial branch, headed by the Supreme Court, also does not have this power.
