Also, what's with the tennis courts at the top of that picture? Does the Central Bank/Mint have it's own tennis court or is it open to the public?

Most of the mint is underground (i understand), and based on the grass cutting, I'd say they definitely own the field. Putting in the extra entrance was probably a planning requirement - it would give the mint (and the army) an extra access/exit route if needed. And yes, I'd say the tennis courts are theirs - probably part paid for by their sports and social club..
