Mints

If the mint's name appears in English, the link should take you to an English-language page. If the formal name appears in the local language, the website might be in English or in the local language. Generally, the link is to English-language pages where available, as those are likely to be more convenient for most visitors to Coinshow.com; however, the local-language websites are often more comprehensive.

In many countries, coins are minted and paper money is printed under the authority of the Central Bank. Therefore, many links are to Central Banks rather than specifically to mints. Central Bank websites usually contain a considerable amount of other information concerning fiscal policy, foreign exchange, interest rates, the banking system, etc., in addition to discussions of coins and currency.
