Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)

disagree

Tony M: That is a VERY quirky translation that is entirely specific to Canada; in France, it wouldn't work at all, as the 'Monnaie Nationale' and the 'Imprimerie Nationale' are separate institutions. In any case, 'Press' here means the media.

4 mins

-> "Press office" as in PR Office. It is not the translation of "Imprimerie", of course ... By the way, I think you mean "separate" and not "seperate". :)

neutral

Margaret Morrison: I'm not sure where the Mint connection comes in...? I agree with Tony on not translating.

7 mins

-> Possibly from the fact that in Portugal Imprensa Nacional/Casa da Moeda are one single institution. My fault ...

neutral

Carol Gullidge: Nice one - it took a moment to see where you get "press" from :O)//Indeed, I think everyone knows what a press office is... But what have you done with "Imprimerie Nationale"?

21 mins

-> Press Office, the office that many companies/institutions for PR and "diffusion" purposes ... // I did not include it in my answer, I realize my suggestion is wrong. Anything else?

Reference: Imprimerie nationale

Reference information:
The Imprimerie nationale (French pronunciation: [ɛ̃pʁimʁi nasjɔnal]) is the official printing works of the French government, in succession to the Manufacture royale d'imprimerie founded by Cardinal Richelieu. Its Président-directeur général is Didier Trutt (since August 2009).

Succeeding the Imprimeurs du roi pour le Grec (royal Greek printers) created by François I in 1543 to publish literature, the Imprimerie royale was founded in 1640, by Louis XIII of France at the instigation of Cardinal Richelieu. Successive governments named it the Imprimerie de la République, then the Imprimerie impériale, the Imprimerie royale and finally the Imprimerie nationale.

The Imprimerie nationale has long been the exclusive printer for the state, until the law of 1994 which made it a limited company with the state as sole shareholder.

The Imprimerie nationale retains the collection of punches, a printing workshop and a printing historical library. It possesses also numerous resources for the history of European printing, such as original documents of the Didot family.

The French state-run printing firm carries on the official printing works of the Lebanese passports in addition to the French ones.
