<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GSDykes, post: 2147613, member: 73321&quot;]I read -- during the financial problems in Egypt (back in 2011) -- that the Royal Mint in Great Britain was greatly troubled. As the RM mints many coins for Egypt, and may lose millions in the upheavals! In fact the article stated that Egypt and Russia were two of the largest clients for the RM. (I think I can dig up the article if needed, but trust me, I recall it correctly -- actually it was printed in 2011 in The Guardian.) I know the RM (and others) mint coins for many many client nations: but two questions -- if I may:</p><p>(1) I assume that the RM added a Cairo mint mark to the RM minted coins (certainly the bi-metals!), I wonder if they also add a PM Logo mint mark for the Petersburg mint in Russia too??, and...</p><p>(2) Does anyone have additional information clarifying who mints what?? I would appreciate some input or any helpful data. I know who Canada mints for, and I know who the U.S. used to mint for, thats all old hat, but how can we evaluate coins and mints if we do not know who minted for whom?</p><p>(3) So....If Mexico is minting coins for Peru and putting on them a Lima logos mint mark, who is minting that coin? Unless you&nbsp; were told, you would NOT know. I cry unfair.</p><p>GSDykes[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
