All countries use the word "mint" or a translation of it to describe their coin-producing facilities. The English word can be traced back to the Latin "Monēta", which also gives us the word "money".
Monēta was the name of the Temple of Juno which was also a place where Roman coins were struck. It eventually made its way into Old English as mynet, which was eventually shortened to mynt. Modern spelling changed the Y to an I.
Other European languages have similar-sounding words. In French, monnaie means coins or small change, and in German Munze can mean either coins or mint.

Difference between US mint and national mint?
Most countries have what is referred to as its national mint. For example, the United States Mint is the national mint of the US, the Royal Canadian Mint is the national mint of Canada, and the Royal Mint is the national mint of the UK. However, in the United States the "national mint" is officially called The US Mint and is always referred to by that name. Several private companies have tried to play off possible confusion by putting the word "National" in their names, but they have no connection whatsoever to the US Mint. It's similar to the way a single government-run airline will carry the country's name in recognition of its status as the "flag carrier", while in the US where there is no official national airline, companies are free to name themselves American Airlines and US Airways even though they have no direct relation to the government.
