Royal Canadian Mint Mint is a Crown corporation and operates under the Royal Canadian Mint Act. In serving the public's interest, a Crown corporation has greater managerial independence than other government entities, meaning it may operate in a commercial manner. Like private sector companies, the Mint has a Board of Directors composed of a chairman, the President and CEO of the Mint and eight other directors. Traditionally, the President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint is known as the Master of the Mint. The president is Ian Bennett (appointed in 2006), and the Chairman of the Board is James B. Love. In
