A brief history of the origins of the mint marks
In the beginning there was only one Mint and mint marks not. Not one to Mint all countries, but a mint for each country. Then, as the county's wealth grew and grew along with their abilities with her, did not rise more and more mints. These were called branch mints and more or less the same as the original Mint did. The end. That should be the end of the story, but it is not. With each new Mint had encountered more and coins produced. And with more coins and more being produced each year, it was only a short time until the villains of our history made its appearance.
These villains are very intelligent, which is the way to make their own currencies at lower cost through the use of lower grade metals or making the underweight coins. Naturally, this meant that the villains began to get rich. They could sell or change the currency at face value and earn a normal profit because production costs were less. Naturally, this upset the good people of the government frowns on these practices, and immediately turned to find a way to break the apple cart of these villains. It was not easy, but they persevered, and came up with many a suggestion.
However, all were rejected, until finally someone had the bright idea to make it difficult to forge any money by placing a special mark to identify coins. This naturally did not make sense for many people. What was by checking currencies when the villains would only create a new Die Cast or mold that incorporated this brand?
Well, said the brilliant, if we put a mark different in all currencies, then it would be difficult to do anything about it. But wait, has not been done yet. When this brilliant person said to place a checkmark in each of the coins, actually meant to put an identification mark on all coins to say where it was minted.
You may have different brands for each mint mint different, and each coin produced from Mint will be the hallmark of Mint. Thus, You can keep track of how many coins were produced in each Mint and how many were put into circulation. So every Mint was given its own special mint mark and the mint mark each very special place in each of their currencies. With the exception of the mints in the first place, because at first when only had a mint from a country which, of course, no need to make a mint mark on their coins, and he knew where the coins were minted.
This led to the practice, at least in the beginning of the first Mint not to put a mark on their currencies. And this in itself was the username for the coins. Where there was no mintmark on a coin, it was assumed that the coin was minted in the first Mint. Not all countries follow this practice, of course. Sometimes they will have a mint mark for each Mint, whether it was the first or not. But some countries have decided to keep their initial or primary Mint, free of any mint marks on their coins.
And that was how the mint mark was born.
