<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1979371, member: 39&quot;]No problem, we all learn new stuff almost every day. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; And somebody from a country that makes all its coin domestically will be more inclined to believe that this is what everybody does ...</p><p><br /></p><p>The question of whether a country has a local mint is partly a question of wealth, as torontokuba wrote, but also of size. Luxembourg and Malta are small euro countries; it just would not make sense for them to have mints. I mentioned Sweden (non-euro) before - before the mint in Eskilstuna closed, they had about a dozen employees.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of the three Baltic countries that have joined or are about to join the euro area, Estonia and Latvia do not have mints, but Lithuania (not exactly a big country) has one. Ireland does have a mint, but usually has its collector coins made in other countries.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
