Hello!
This is something I would like to gather some opinions on:
From 1941 to 1943, Dutch-like coins struck in Philadelphia were issued for both Suriname and Curaçao. On Numista, most of these coins are listed under Curaçao; however, I would like to propose to move them all under Suriname. Let's take a look at the mintages first:
25 Cents
----- 1941 P
----------- 500'000 Curaçao
----------- 600'000 Suriname (half struck in 1942)
----- 1943P (including 1943/1)
----------- 500'000 Curaçao
----------- 2'000'000 Suriname
In total, 1'000'000 were struck for Curaçao and 2'600'000 were struck for Suriname, and yet this coin is listed under Curaçao: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces148547.html.
10 Cents
----- 1941P
----------- 300'000 Curaçao
----------- 500'000 Suriname
----- 1942P
----------- 0 Curaçao
----------- 1'500'000 Suriname
----- 1943P
----------- 500'000 Curaçao
----------- 4'000'000 Suriname
In total, 800'000 were struck for Curaçao and 6'000'000 were struck for Suriname. One page is listed under Curaçao (which includes all years): https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces21088.html.
And one page is listed under Suriname (which also includes all years): https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces16118.html.
5 Cents
----- 1943 (P)
----------- 2'000'000 Curaçao (1'500'000 struck in 1944)
----------- 6'595'000 Suriname (all struck in 1944)
With there being only one date, it is obvious more were struck for Suriname, and yet the page is located under Curaçao: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5046.html.
1 Cent
----- 1942 P
----------- 500'000 Curaçao
----------- 2'000'000 Suriname
This page is currently located under the Netherlands, which will need to be corrected, but it was originally located under Curaçao: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5782.html.
(And all this information can be found here, by the by: https://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetGallery.aspx?PeopleSetID=179664.)

Now, while these coins were struck for both places, I think it would be best to pick one to list them all under (otherwise, there would be a lot of duplicates). So, looking at the mintages, there were more coins struck in Suriname each year, and yet, most coins can be found under Curaçao. And Numista is probably that way because that is how Krause lists them. With most coins being struck for Suriname, I think we should not follow Krause here, and instead place all under Suriname. That makes the most sense to me, at least. So... does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Also, with the 10 cent piece, if all these coins were all placed under Suriname, all years can be on one page. However, if these coins end up staying under Curaçao, the 1942 year would have to have its own page under Suriname. So no matter what gets decided, the 10 cent pages will need some edits.
And... thank you for reading!
