Let us tell you that four mints in India have the right to make coins. These are Mumbai Mint, Calcutta Mint, Hyderabad Mint, and Noida Mint. Coins come to the market from here. The oldest mints in the country are Calcutta and Mumbai Mint. Both were established by the British government in the year 1859.

A Mint is a factory where the country's government, or with the authority given by it, manufactures currency.

Hyderabad Mint Hyderabad Mint was established in 1903 by the government of Hyderabadi Nizam. In 1950, the Government of India took it under its control.

Noida Mint Noida Mint was established in 1986 and the manufacture of stainless steel coins started from here in 1988.

Mumbai Mint Mumbai Mint is also one of the oldest mints in India. It was built by the British. Even at that time, Mumbai was a good area for the British in terms of economic aspects.

Calcutta Mint was started during the British rule. In the year 1859, coins were manufactured for the first time in this mint. However, the British government took the coins made at that time with them.

The coins of Hyderabad Mint have a star mark below the date. Some also have a dot diamond shape mark. The diamond mark below the date written on the coin and the dot in the middle of it are also of Hyderabad Mint.

A diamond-shaped dot is made on the coins made here. It is right below the year of manufacture inscribed on the coin.
