Some States listed are Dollarized nations?
[edit]Some of the states listed are now US-dollarized nations. Is there any refference as to where this list of countries came from?
I ask because since the year 2000, Ecuador's "Sucre" was replaced by the United States Dollar. As is the case in both El Salvador and the Turks and Caicos. Does the source happen to list a time/date when these were accomplished / were carried out? CaribDigita 22:18, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Some of these seem a bit fishy. Did the US really have coins made by teh Royal Mint of Canada? I find that hard to believe. Americans used Canadian coins, as Canadians used American coins, but I'd be very surprised if there were any coins struck by the RCM for the US.
- The RCMint article says that blanks were produced for use in the states. However, the crappyness of the Mint's site prohibits me from seeing if any coins were actually struck. You could contact them about it though, the option exists. at le24.76.121.126 03:41, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
- [1] Says that the coin struck was a "harmony" nickel. It is clearly a very Canadian style coin, but intended for the U.S.A. (we've never had this design). It's a show of cooperation between the two nations and whatnot. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 03:47, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
- Hmm ... confusing. The coin itself clearly states "Canadian" and "25 cents"
- [2], reporting on a Canadian 50-cent piece struck on a US Sacagawea blank, says, "A Canadian 2000 June-Harmony Millennium commemorative 25-cent coin struck on a blank intended for a U.S. 5-cent coin is known. Both [the quarter and 50-cent piece] are believed to have been struck when the Winnipeg facility was burnishing dollar blanks and producing 5-cent planchets under contract for the United States Mint in 2000." This could explain the Harmony nickel confusion, as well as showing that the RCM has indeed produced blanks for the US Mint at least once in the relatively recent past. And it seems reasonable that the US likely used some if not all of the blanks for which it contracted the RCM. -- Severinus 18:44, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Original source
[edit]This list seems to have its origins on [3]. Information is available there. I have no idea if this can be found as a copyvio though. It is straight fact, but still seemingly taken from that site (ie. the description at the start). -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 03:51, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
Dominion of Newfoundland.
[edit]It was the Dominion of Newfoundland that had coins struck at the Ottawa branch of the Royal Canadian Mint. - (119.224.80.18 (talk) 08:20, 30 December 2016 (UTC))
Missing countries
[edit]This list is incomplete. I visited the Royal Canadian Mint in July 2013, and at the time, it had minted coins for 93 or 94 countries and territories. (Frustratingly, they didn't have a complete list on display.) Longing4Knowledge (talk) 18:53, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
