<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 404374, member: 112&quot;]As a general rule coins, even back then, were produced in the millions. But they often had a lot more mints than we have today. This was due partially to the problem with transportation of coins around the realm. More mints in more locations solved that. And depending on the country, it was also a right of the nobility granted them by the crown to operate a mint, thus allowing them to make money. And I don&#039;t mean the minting of money, I mean to make a profit from the minting of coins. This was one of th ebest sources of income that the nobility had.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, with many countries it is possible to find accurate mintage numbers back to the 13th century and even before. But with others it is not, it just depends on the country.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
