Mints, coin manufacturers

2 posts
I was looking through my Uruguayan coins' pages in Numista, when I noticed that some of them were informed to be coined in "Rio de Janeiro mint", others in "Brazil mint" and other in "Casa da Moeda do Brasil"
After a quick search in Google, I came to the conclusion that those three mints were the same.
I thought that, somewhere in Numista, could be a list of mints.
Actually, I found this: "Monetary and Minting Organizations", under Numisdoc, Tips & Tools (https://en.numista.com/numisdoc/monetary-and-minting-organizations-262.html), but I think that this list is not accurate, because it mixes Central Banks with actual coins manufacturers:
Example, under "Argentina" I find "Central Bank Of Argentina" (http://www.bcra.gov.ar/), which is the institution that regulates the financial market, but the correct thing is "Sociedad del Estado Casa de Moneda" (could be translated to "State Mint") (https://www.argentina.gob.ar/casademoneda/se-casa-de-moneda), which is the actual coin manufacturer; as you can see they are two different institutions.
I found the same situation in Brazil:
Banco Central do Brasil (https://www.bcb.gov.br/) instead of Casa da Moeda do Brasil (http://www.casadamoeda.gov.br/portal/).
My point is:
1 - that list needs to be corrected
2 - the coin´s pages also need to be corrected.
Monetary institution is different from minting institution: monetary will regulate the currency (Banco cental) while minting will manufacture coins (Casa da Moeda). No mistake in the list as such, just some insitutions missing.

Regarding files, mistakes are just semantic i.e. the way to write the name. You can directly submit a modification request on your own for this.
