Root Explanation

Remint → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "mint" (from Old French *minter*, meaning to produce coins). The word "remint" means to produce coins again or to mint new coins from old ones.

Memory Tip

Think of making coins 'again' ('re-') in a 'mint' — that's why remint means to mint again.
