That site is usually fairly accurate. For example, Greek Euro coins in 2002 were minted both in Greece and In Spain/France/Finland (depending on the value) because Greece didn’t meete the criteria for a while and was accepted later than other countries, with less time to minr coins. The non-Greece minted coins have a small letter hidden in a star denoting the country they were minted in: E for Spain (España), F for France, S for Finland (Suomi). Take the 2 Euro coin for example: https://en.numista.com/120
75,400,000 were minted in Greece, 70,000,000 in Finland.
This list is the list of countries the Royal Canadian Mint has ever produced coins for. I was recently on a tour at the Mint in Ottawa and they’re currently producing coins for a just handful of countries - four or five, if I remember right.
Idk but they’re not making France’s coins (casually being almost 10 times older than the Canadian mint). Germany even has more than one national mint I think, so I doubt they’re making theirs either.
Bonus! the Canadian mint actually mints coins for other countries. All euro coins for example.
I couldn’t find anything on that, do you have a source for the Canadian Mint making “all euro coins” and what that is intended to mean?
when EU went to the Euro, coins were secretly minted in Canada for a few EU countries and shipped out on secret cargo ships.
Are you sure?
I couldn’t find anything documented about that:
Royal Canadian Mint of Winnipeg: 0 results
Royal Canadian Mint of Ottawa: 0 results

I can still see no sources backing up your claim.

Ah ok, yes you’re right it’s for the whole history of the Royal Mint. I wonder what those 4 or 5 countries are 🤔
