[QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 420415, member: 8012"]As usual, nice trivia Clinker! A couple of notes though. 1. Sierra Leone does not have a mint. It is a poor, ravaged, "feel sorry for" country. Been their several times over the past 15 years. In fact, I'm guessing less than 1/10 of 1 percent of these coins ever get to Sierra Leone. Certainly, no average citizen of Sierra Leone has ever seen them. 2. Here is a link to the people who make the coins - they're in Europe. All these "private" mints making stuff "for" governments of other countries. I think it's rather mints paying these countries so they can put the country's name on the coins.
