1. Mintnoun

   A plant.

   Etymology: minte , Saxon; menthe, Fr. mentha, Latin.

   The mint is a verticillate plant with labiated flowers, consisting of one leaf, whose upper-lip is arched, and the under-lip divided into three parts; but both of them are so cut, that the flower seems to be divided into four parts, the two lips scarcely appearing: these flowers are collected into thick whorles in some species, but in others they grow in a spike; each flower having four seeds succeeding it, which are inclosed in the flower-cup: it hath a creeping root, and the whole plant has a strong aromatick scent. Philip Miller.

   Then rubb’d it o’er with newly-gather’d mint,
   A wholesome herb, that breath’d a grateful scent. Dryden.

2. Mintnoun

   Etymology: munte , Dutch; mynetian, to coin, Saxon.

   2. Any place of invention.

   A man in all the world’s new fashion planted,
   That hath a mint of phrases in his brain. William Shakespeare.

   As the mints of calumny are at work, a great number of curious inventions are issued out, which grow current among the party. Joseph Addison, Freeholder, №. 7.

3. To Mintverb

   Etymology: from the noun.

   1. To coin; to stamp money.

   Another law was, to bring in the silver of the realm to the mint, in making all clipped coins of silver not to be current in payments, without giving any remedy of weight; and so to set the mint on work, and to give way to new coins of silver which should be then minted. Francis Bacon, Henry VII.

1. Mint

   Mint is a song recorded by Japanese singer Namie Amuro. It was released on May 18, 2016 in Japan and May 27, 2016 in Taiwan as a CD single, DVD single, and worldwide on May 18 as a digital download by Avex Trax, Avex Taiwan and Amuro's own label Dimension Point. It also served as Amuro's fifth non-album maxi single, after the release of her December 2015 single "Red Carpet", and features the B-side song "Chit Chat". The track was written by Andreas Oberg, Emyli, Maria Marcus, and Tiger, while production was handled by Oberg and Marcus. Musically, "Mint" is a dance song that incorporates musical elements of contemporary R&B, EDM, and rock music. The lyrical content for both "Mint" and "Chit Chat" includes English and Japanese language, with the former discussing themes of lust and love. "Mint" received positive reviews from music critics. Some critics commended the production of the track, complimenting the composition and Amuro's vocal performance. Commercially, the song performed moderately on the Oricon Singles Chart in Japan, reaching number four. However, it performed better on the Japan Hot 100, reaching number two and was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for digital sales of 250,000 units. An accompanying music video was directed by Naokazu Mitsuishi, which displays Amuro and 30 female backup dancers in a dark-blue room. To promote the single, it was used as the theme song for the Japanese television drama series Bokuno Yabai Tsuma (translated to My Sick Wife). Alongside this, "Mint" will be included in the setlist for her 2016 Live Style concert tour in Japan.

1. MiNT

   MiNT is a free software alternative operating system kernel for the Atari ST and its successors. Together with the free system components fVDI, XaAES, and TeraDesk, MiNT provides a free TOS compatible replacement OS that is capable of multitasking. MiNT was originally released by Eric Smith as "MiNT is Not TOS". Atari adopted MiNT as an official alternative kernel with the release of the Atari Falcon, slightly altering the MiNT acronym into "MiNT is Now TOS". Atari bundled MiNT with AES 4.0 under the name MultiTOS. After Atari left the computer market, MiNT development has been continued by a core of volunteers. Nowadays the official name has been changed to "FreeMiNT" upon request by Eric Smith. The reason for this was to distinguish it from the versions that were released by Atari. There are several distributions, most notably the RPM-based SpareMiNT as well as the Debian GNU/MiNT porting effort.

1. Mint

   On the spot where Manlius Capitolinus had built himself a sumptuous residence the Romans set up a temple to Juno Moneta, or “The Monitress,” since Manlius had been apprised of the Gallic invasion through the cackling of the sacred geese. Subsequently this temple of Moneta was converted into an establishment for the coinage of money. Both mint and money therefore come from Moneta.
