A massive mint located towards the center of the island. Inside are many vaults containing valueable treasures and priceless artifacts. This is also where three Chaos Emeralds were kept before they were stolen by the government spy, Rouge the Bat.

This added security is necessary, because now the military has secretly begun stashing its supply of weapons of mass destruction in the upper levels of the facility.
