In 1920 , the Manila Mint was opened, and was the first (and to date only) U.S. branch mint located outside the Continental United States . It produced coins until 1922 and then again from 1925 to 1941 , when the Japanese Empire invaded the Philippines during World War II . The mint was operated under Japanese auspices during the occupation. No U.S. coins were produced at Manila after 1941 due to the occupation and the Philippines' independence in 1946 , although Philippine coinage did take place at the other U.S. mints in 1944 and 1945 .
