The US Mint not only mints coins for the United States, but they also contract out and mint coins for other countries. I am by no means an expert on this, but I believe the Philippines are one of those countries.

I have some Australian coins that were minted in Denver.

it's interesting to see the number of countries that the US Mint has produced coins for over the years.
