The Old Mint is located within the city walls of White Harbor at Fishfoot Yard. It has huge oak and iron doors, which up until quite recently, have always been closed.[1]

A Dance with Dragons

While in Fishfoot Yard Davos Seaworth notices that the Old Mint is open. Davos glimpses hundreds of women and children and old men living inside, huddled on the floor on piles of furs. Some have little cookfires going. Most are smallfolk from up the White Knife, while others are from Hornwood. With the Bastard of Bolton running loose they have sought sanctuary inside White Harbor city's walls.

What Lord Wyman Manderly means to do with them no one knows. They survive by begging and stealing. Many young girls have become prostitutes, while any boy that stands five feet tall can find a place in Lord Manderly's barracks, as long as he can hold a spear.[1]

When he hears that the people staying in the Old Mint have come for sanctuary Davos despairs, thinking:

They came here for refuge, to a city untouched by the fighting, and here I turn up to drag them back into the war. [1]
