There are many mints around the world, both old and new, and if I was to list all of them I would soon run out of breathing space. So, I’ve taken the easy way out and just given you the list and dates of the various mints that are and were operating in the US at some point in time.

For the other mints, I have to say that if you’re interested in world coins or coins of a given country, that you get yourself a good reference guide to the coins and a history of coins of that country and continue from there on.

There’s really no way that I can do the subject any justice as it really is so vast. And the same applies to ancient or medieval coins as well. There are experts in all of these fields who will be able to give you far better instruction than I can.
