<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 8285922, member: 116145&quot;]According to PCGS, in the past the United States has struck coins for Argentina, Australia, Bahamas, Belgian Congo, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Curacao, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Fiji, France, French Indo-China, Greenland, Guatemala, Hawaii, Honduras, Israel, Liberia, Mexico, Nepal, Netherlands, Netherlands East Indies, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Poland, El Salvador, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Surinam, Syria, Taiwan, Thailand and Venezuela.&nbsp; The U.S. Mint last produced coins for a foreign country in 1984. Since that Time, our Mint has struck coins exclusively for the United States. This, in turn, paved the way for many foreign Mints to chase down these lucrative foreign coin contracts. The BRM (British Royal Mint) probably has the most foreign coin contracts of any of them.&nbsp; I purchased a very reasonably priced 1942 Australian 6 Pence produced in Denver by the US Mint in 1942 this weekend.&nbsp; I find it amusing that it has a picture of King George VI on one side and then the motto, &quot;Advance Australia&quot; right over the &quot;D&quot; on the reverse along with a kangaroo and an emu - neither of which are native to metro Denver.&nbsp; I wonder what the mint workers thought of that, right there in the middle of WW2, helping &quot;Advance Australia&quot; along with the rest of our allies, while going to work and stamping the monarchy we fought for independence from on the front of a coin.&nbsp; Does anyone collect foreign coins produced by US Mint?&nbsp; Show us what you&#039;ve got!
