A mint is a place where coins are made. In the US there are mints in Philladelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. There are molds made, called dies, one for the top and one for the bottom images on a coin. A blank piece of metal is placed between the dies, and the dies are hammered, or "struck " to produce the images you see on a coin. At this point, it has been minted. A coin in mint condition is one that has not been circulated, and so is in perfect condition, with no wear.
