I realize there may be some overlap with the master thread on data, but this question to the Flyertalk collective is specific to Mini SIM...

I'd appreciate it if folks from different locations could report here about Mini SIM availability...

Thanks!
I think you should make sure you know which SIM you are referring to.

The SIM commonly used for many years is the MINI-SIM. The micro-SIM was introduced a couple of years ago and is used in iPhone 4 and 4S. Nano-SIMs are used in the iPhone 5. There is also the SIM that is the same size as a credit card which was used in first generation GSM handsets.

This link shows the different formats/sizes.
