1 Dinar : What country issues that coin?

Also, I have a 1972 10 Centimos from Costa Rica. The reverse says
"America Central" and "BCCR" is stamped at the bottom. Was this coin minted by the U.S. Mint?

Thanks for your answer.

1 Dinar could be Algeria, Bahrain, or a dozen other countries. A picture or more complet description would help.

 

BCCR means it was minted in Philidelphia, so yes it was minted by the US Mint.

 

I can't furnish a picture, but it is shinny white aluminum looking, dated 1953, and the one side has 4 torches (like the olympics) inside a circle of wheat with a Star on the top of the circle of wheat. There are not keys on my keyboard to spell the words written around the inner rim. I am no world traveler, but guess it to be some Russian type language.

 

Yugoslavia :hug:

You guys are tooooo much!
Thanks Byrd 740, I don't know how you know this stuff about mint marks on foreign coins.
And greatest thank you to De Orc ( who always knows this stuff) and to CherylKubuko who posted before I could get back to tell De Orc he was verified by Km# 30 in Yugoslavia.

 

BCCR=Banco Central Costa Rica

At one time Costa Rican coins were minted in the US. To my knowledge, now they are issued from the mint in Costa Rica.

 

Thanks unfortunatly I coudnt find a pic LOL then Cheryl got one posted just as I found one :goofer:

 

De Orc gald I could help.

 

Actually, I correct myself before 1962 if it had BCCR on it, it would have been made in Philidelphia but since the date is 1972 it would be made in the San Jose Mint. Didn't look at the dates, thanks for pointing this out acanthite.
