<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 7853155, member: 80952&quot;]I don&#039;t collect other modern countries except Romania so I am not sure if this applies for other countries - but for Romanian coins mintage is not always relevant for today&#039;s rarity. </p><p>For example 5 lei 1901 - mintage 82.460. This should make the coin hard to find but it&#039;s not.</p><p><br /></p><p>An opposite example - 20 lei 1930 (king Mihai as child). </p><p>This coin - official records -&nbsp; was minted in London (40.000.000), Heaton (5.000.000) and King&#039;s Norton (also 5.000.000). So one could say that it&#039;s easy to find. Actually they are quite rare (especially H and KN), one possible explanation was that most of them were melted after Carol II returned to Romania and reclaimed the throne. In the same year, another set of 20 lei appeared, but with a different design and with Carol II&#039;s portrait. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1352662[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Another interesting situation I noticed - 2 bani 1879 (500.000) and 2 bani 1880 (10.500.000). </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1352663[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1352665[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>From my experience, 2 bani 1880 is harder to find, although the mintage would imply the opposite.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
