<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2148681, member: 4373&quot;]My apologies - I got Royal Mint and Pobjoy Mint mixed up. </p><p><br /></p><p>In some mints&#039; annual report, they report details of whom the clients are. I know the Royal Australian Mint does but it doesn&#039;t seem to be the case with the Royal Mint, UK.

I somewhat doubt UK has supplied bi-metal coins to Russia as Russia has experimented with bimetal coins in 1991. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes, a mix of foreign planchets can lead to insane wild error coins. This for instance details some error coins in Australia.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.australian-threepence.com/blog/2012/09/2-struck-on-euro-10c-planchet.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.australian-threepence.com/blog/2012/09/2-struck-on-euro-10c-planchet.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.australian-threepence.com/blog/2012/09/2-struck-on-euro-10c-planchet.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The biggest challenge is to identify suppliers that are not necessary government mint that supplies planchets. It could easily be companies that only roll metal sheets. Oh the joy of globalization - I guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
