Talk:Mint (facility)

Comments
Sorry, it's getting late as I write this, it needs help. Hopefully, I can get back to it later, but I wanted to save what I'd done thus far.

This page currently focuses on the US - can it be expanded to cover other countries in as much detail? Onebyone 16:45, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Lotsofmoney11082004.jpg
Image:Lotsofmoney11082004.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Historical imbalance
This page has a dreadful slant toward the modern. Mints have been around for millennia. I shall try to add some ancient content as i have time. Cewvero (talk) 00:49, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Cultural bias
The page currently has a ridiculously large slant towards minting in the USA. I've tried to edit this out as far as possible, but my knowledge on mints is limited, so i'd be grateful if someone could amend this. I mean really, "See Also: US department of the Treasury" - Why?! 82.36.197.2 (talk) 18:36, 25 May 2008 (UTC) W

Bell ends
"Austrian Mint - exists since 1397 and produces the Vienna Philharmonic gold bullion which is given to bell ends" Not sure that's entirely correct >_> Falkybassist (talk) 03:44, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Merger proposal (2014)
The article history of mints is repeated almost word-for-word in this one. Removing or reducing it, and adding a template link to the other page here would leave very little left, apart from a list of notable mints. I therefore propose merging the two articles, to ensure that we don't have two near-identical copies of the same thing. Anaxial (talk) 13:00, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Makes sense. I suggest you just go ahead and do it; this sort of thing can just tend to drag on, otherwise.86.185.150.189 (talk) 16:53, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Joachimsthal Royal Mint, the original dollar manuafacturer?
What I understand is the Joachimsthal Royal Mint, the manufacturer of the origiginal Joachimsthaler that were copied under the name thaler or daler, later gave the name to the present dollar? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.247.9.228 (talk) 01:16, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Requested move 14 October 2015

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: MOVED per general consensus below. Tiggerjay (talk) 06:39, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

(non-admin closure) Mint (coin) → Mint (facility) – Per WP:AT. A mint (a facility that manufactures coins and such) is not a coin, it's a facility. The present name implies something more like the topic mint state (of coinage). Furthermore, many mints produce things other than or in addition to coins, such as medallions, medals, tokens, plaques, ingots, etc. (see, e.g., Pobjoy Mint), so the "(coin)" disambiguator was incorrectly narrow to begin with. The disambiguator "(facility)" is sufficiently precise, and also sufficiently broad (i.e., to include both public and private-sector mints, and to include ancient minting operations that may have consisted of three guys and one crucible). — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  07:47, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment I think that the subject may be more instantly recognisable with a title such as Mint (coinage). GregKaye 09:43, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * That has all the problems that Mint (coin) has.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  10:52, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Support Mint (coinage), good find and good alternate suggestion. This was an odd title. Randy Kryn 13:02, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Support as proposed. "Mint (coin)" and "mint (coinage)" are ambiguous with mint state. Plantdrew (talk) 21:36, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Support per nom and Plantdrew. Disambiguating with coin (or coinage) is insufficient because of mint state (should that be mint (condition)?  --В²C ☎ 23:04, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Suggest mint (factory) instead, since it is a manufactory for coinage. Organizations that mint things are also called "mints" and 'facility' would possibly cover that. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 05:37, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * A large number of mints of coinage are also mints of other things; that was half the point. We needn't be concerned with the fact that the word "mint" can be used figuratively of organizations that "mint" things in a sense unrelated to this article's coverage, per WP:NOT (e.g. "the Free Software Foundation mints a lot of great Linux utilities"). Not all historical mints (especially in antiquity) can accurately be described as factories.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  10:57, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Is "mint" means only coins that matters of production? What about paper money. What do you call it 111.125.107.149 (talk) 17:55, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
