Though Comstock Gold Mill no longer produces real currency, the mill itself is still operating. Built in San Francisco in the 1860s, the two-stamp mill still tells the tale of how gold was once processed from ore to recovery, assisted by narrating tour guides. The guides also show off other pieces of historical mining equipment that contributed to the process, explaining the use of now arcane machines like the human hand.
