Our Mints

Indian coins are mainly produced in 4 cities :

1. Delhi
2. Mumbai
3. Hyderabad
4. Kolkata

The production in city puts an identification mark under the year of issue. Coins produced in:

1. Delhi - have a dot
2. Mumbai - have a diamond
3. Hyderabad - have a star
4. Kolkata - Nothing beneath the year

Isn’t it amazing?

Most of us don’t know this........Now put your hand inside your pocket/ wallet/ purse and check out!!!!

I checked it out immediately.
I had 10 coins in my pocket.
Seven had nothing under the year - Kolkata
Two had Star - Hyderabad
One had diamond - Mumbai.
Since I stay in Kolkata, it should be accepted that the maximum coins would be from our Mint.
