The New Orleans Mint was decommissioned in 1909 but the state wanted to keep the building so it has been used for several unrelated purposes, such as a fallout shelter, US Coast Guard storage facility, and an assay office.

The New Orleans Mint stamped all of their coins with an "O" mint-mark, as is this coin.
