Zimmy Valued Member United States 460 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 10:56 pm Does anyone know if The Royal Mint (Great Britain) strikes coins for other countries and if so, is there any web site or reference guide that I can refer to? Report this Post to the Staff

kena Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1682 Posts	Posted 03/14/2014 2:16 pm They do make coins for other countries as per http://www.royalmint.com/business/c...ur-customers but I have never seen a place which provides the details of what made for other countries. Report this Post to the Staff
Henry M Smith Valued Member United States 337 Posts	Posted 03/14/2014 6:52 pm I believe Isle of Man, Guernsey, Jersey, and Gibraltar may be some of them. I may be wrong, but these would be my quesses. Remember, many small countries need minting elsewhere, and some use multiple mints. Report this Post to the Staff

Zimmy Valued Member United States 460 Posts	Posted 03/14/2014 9:28 pm I have a 2011 penny struck on a 2.2 gram planchet that is struck on a foreign copper type planchet that I don't know what it is struck on. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff
Moralclimate Valued Member United Kingdom 188 Posts	Posted 03/15/2014 06:38 am "Egypt is The Royal Mint's second-largest foreign customer, behind Russia, accounting for a substantial chunk of last year's £110m in overseas revenue." http://www.theguardian.com/world/20...int-contract @DaytR, is that a recent move by the Isle of Man, and do they still use Royal Mint made planchets? I have a 1998 Manx £1 and its edge milling pattern (alternate milled and unmilled sectors) appears identical to that on a 1998 Gibraltar £1. However a 1999 and 2002 Manx £1 shared a different edge template (still with alternate milled and unmilled sectors). It has been claimed Swazi Emalangeni were [for many years] made from the same planchets as UK £1 coins, and speculated that The Royal Mint was making them. Yet the one I have (1986) is very slightly wider (diameter) and thinner at the edge than every UK £1 I've compared it to, including a UK proof £1 found in circulation (i.e. in spite of the latter being struck twice).

Thats a good question, from what I understand the planchets could be from The Royal Mint but the striking is by the Pobjoy mint , the Pobjoy mint has been striking Isle of Man coins for a while.....to give you an example they struck the first base metal pound coins for them in 1979 Report this Post to the Staff
Harrythecollecter New Member United Kingdom 29 Posts	Posted 03/18/2014 6:15 pm think they make (or have done) coins for the commonwealth eg the Malaya 1 cent were made in London up to 1945 Report this Post to the Staff
Zimmy Valued Member United States 460 Posts	Posted 03/18/2014 8:23 pm Just found out through the web they make coins for over 60 countries. Now if I could find a reference site that listed the countries and specifications Report this Post to the Staff
