Fun coin fact, the first coins ever minted for a foreign country in the USA, were for Venezuela (1 & 2 1/2 Centavos)

But the mint screwed with the coat of arms, and Venezuela did not order more coins from USA for a while...

I have learned some interesting facts in these tables.
for example, the 1920 order of Cuban silver 20 and 40 centavo coins required two years to complete.


similarly, 2M out of 8.7M 1952 commemorative 20 centavo coins were struck in 1953.
