Could these be mint seeds?

Mint

I was given a lot of different seeds last year and I stupidly did not label them. I have a feeling that these are mint seeds - can anyone confirm this ID? If not mint, then what else could they be? I feel very silly, I may just have to plant them and see what happens!
