Where the 5 cents were minted

Another newbies question

On Fulvio's coin site with the 1981 5 cents in 2 places says they were minted in Canada and Wales

Is there any way of knowing where it was minted this on the coin itself

1981 10¢ the Wales has the writing on the obverse closer to the rim but I don't think there is a distinguishing feature for the 5¢.

The Welsh coins smell like Coal ?? :laugh2:
The coins Minted at Llanristant have NO distinguishing mintmarks :ok:

An article in the October edition of the CAB, by Dr Peter Andrews. Has a lot of useful info in it.

[Fulvio]

Unlike 1966, which was planned and had different dies with identifying mintmarks, 1981 was an emergency measure because of a strike. So they went with what they already had on hand, and any differences (like the 3-1/2 claw) are purely accidental.

OK thanks gang

I can take it from the responses that there is no difference  in the way of marks on the coins
