These are the ten different types of coins produced by the Philadelphia mint for Nicaragua. I did the pictures to scale so that they would be relative in size to each other.

Very nice coins. That's some interesting info you've shared with us. Thanks.

Thank you. I started listing these back when Numisaddict was online, but I fizzled out. This looks like a better format with the different forums for geographic areas. If anyone is interested I could post each of the 42 (43 if you count China and Taiwan seperate) countries' coins that the US Mint was involved in as I finish them or get the pictures taken for the ones I've already finished.

Beautiful collection - looks like you have been working on these for a while. I had no idea that many countries had coinage produced by the US - I knew some were made as I have seen and read about wrong-planchet errors. Is the US currently making any coins for other countries?

Yeah, it's been over five years since I started this set now. I have somewhere around 350 of the 408 types, but a lot of tough ones left to find.
Panama was the last country for regular production coins and they stopped in 1983. Since then the only foreign coin they've made was the Leif Erickson 1000 Kronur proof for Iceland in 2000.

Amazing set. Thanks for sharing. I've always liked 1800's - early 1900's Latin American designs .

Neat. And nice to see you around!

interesting ... i like the design on the larger-sized coins. funny how they include "In God We Trust" ("En Dios Confiamos") on their coins ...

Thanks Henare. I never even thought to look that up.

Hi CCG. It has been a while, hasn't it? Looks like you've been busy here!

Cool, what did you use to identify the 408 types?

I guess better late than never.

It was a combo of the US Mint report booklet, the Krause, and previously published (1960s) books on the subject.

Late, but it served to recall this thread. The coins are great, magnificent collection. I would love to see the rest.

Thanks, bill. I should work on that. I have a lot of pictures to retake.
