    The paper studies area preserving, monotone twist diffeomorphisms. In the case that there is an invariant circle of angular rotation number \(\omega\), where \(\omega\) is irrational, its unique minimal set \(\Sigma_{\omega}\) is either the whole circle or a Denjoy minimal set of angular rotation number \(\omega\) which is unique in this case. The main result of this paper asserts that when \(\omega\) is irrational and there is no circle of angular rotation number \(\omega\), there exist uncountably many distinct Denjoy minimal sets of angular rotation number \(\omega\).
