lonsharim,

There are more mints for Indian (Republic) coins.

The Mumbai or Bombay mint is actually a diamond (though it looks like a dot). On earlier proofs the mm was a "B" and now is "M".

The Calcutta mint does not have a mint mark.

The Hyderabad mm is either a star or earlier ones were a diamond with dot or split diamond.

The Noida mint has a dot.

There were some PL coins which had a mm of "U" to denote "uncirculated" -- these came in sets--eg. the Nehru UNC coins.

As far as foreign mints go, these were--

Mexico City-- "o" over "M"
Kremnica-- "MK" in circle
Taegu, South Korea-- star below last digit of date
Birmingham-- "H"
London-- diamond below first date digit
Pretoria-- "M" in oval
Moscow-- "MMD" in oval
Ottawa-- "C"
There is one more mint having mm of an elongated "U". This is not mentioned in Krause but this is from the UK.

I hope this helps!
