3. Planchet Metallurgy Planchets are round disks punched from large metal sheets. (blank coin)
The sheets are formed from recycled scratch metal.
After round disks are punched out, they undergo rim formation.
4. Die Production Dies are
stamps used to imprint images on coins.
The size of coins
Made of steel
The imprint initially begins with a master art work which is then manipulated to fit the size of the die .
The process of die production involves cycles of squeezing and annealing,in order to meet service requirements.
5. Final Stage The final stage in coin production is stamping the planchets with these dies.
