<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1416555, member: 39&quot;]The Dutch mint (KNM) has &quot;played&quot; with the orientations before. Before 2002 they used the same alignment that the US still uses today; after that they used it for the Australia coin (2006). Now that I found funny, Australia being down under. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The latest piece that the mint (in Utrecht) issued was the Turkey coin, with the tulip. This time they used a &quot;mix&quot;: The proof versions have the parallel alignment; the coin card version has an inverse alignment. I am not really fond of this new design, but the artist tried something interesting; on either side of the coin she depicts a coin that is being turned. <a href="http://www.herdenkingsmunt.nl/CmsData/FCKUploads/image/uitlegontwerp-hdmwebsite(1).jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.herdenkingsmunt.nl/CmsData/FCKUploads/image/uitlegontwerp-hdmwebsite(1).jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.herdenkingsmunt.nl/CmsData/FCKUploads/image/uitlegontwerp-hdmwebsite(1).jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, the KNM makes coins for many countries, with and without its mintmark. But the US production volume may be a little much for them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
