Hey everyone,
so I noticed that many Tanzanian coins dated 1966 were struck in 1965, 66, 67 and 68 all with specific mintage numbers, but then for some reason in the 1966 slot for these coins, the mintage numbers are only featured for the latest of these possible years.
An example: N#3375
The 50 senti 1966 coin of which 16,000,000 were struck in 1966, 3,750,000 in 1967 and 6,250,000 in 1968. In the 1966 slot, only the mintage number of 1968 is shown, which makes me wonder: are the other almost 20 million coins here being ignored or forgotten? At first I thought it was a simple mistake but it seems to be happening consistently throughout multiple Tanzanian coinage pages.
Is there a reason for this? Or is this just the result of someone consistently forgetting to account for the number of 1966 coins struck in earlier years?
Thanks for the help!
