Is it possible to add a field to the mint section of the coin entry so you can identify which year a mint produced that particular coin. As you can see this was discussed in this topic in 2020: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic46482.html with no final conclusion given, except to continue to use the comment field.

In relation to the 1 euro cent of Estonia, this has been overcome by putting the year in the mintmark field, which is not technically correct. would it be possible to add a field to show this more clearly? Thanks
This information is already in the yearline comments why would you need it in the mint field?
Taking the Estonian cent as an example you would have a bunch of different years not a range.
I wholeheartedly support this request. I would find this useful, particularly for countries like Costa Rica, who seem to buy coins from a different mint every year.

Also, in the page you used as a example, the Mint of Finland and Kremnica Mint minted coins over multiple years, despite the mintage field only listing one year each.

​To reduce the amount of information in the comment for year line. And put it in the 'correct' place
I just reread the original post and I seem to have misinterpreted the original suggestion. I was thinking of an extra field for the yearline, like the field for mintmarks or mintages (this would be similar to how mints are handled on Colnect).
