<p>[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 954293, member: 6229"]<font size="4">You know the Lima Mint in Peru began minting coins in 1565 (230 years before The United States Mint in Philidelphia began minting coins). Well then, you can surmise that in 1965 the Lima Mint celebrated its 400th Anniversary. In fact, The Lima Mint honored that milestone in the mint's history by issuing circulation coinage featuring the event.
