Sovereign and private mints worldwide produce various types of coins for commerce, numismatic coins for collectors, and bullion coins for investors.
The US Mint and some others measure mintages in terms of “production” figures when referring to circulating coins, “sales” figures for numismatic products, and “mintage” figures for bullion.
The Perth Mint measures mintages of their numismatic products based on the number of coins produced and sold by the mint.
