    I think it would be great to see some old photos or videos of the coin making process. Its amazing to see how much or little the process changes.
    I'll start off with this Video I found earlier today. I posted it on another thread earlier today. Please feel free to add to this thread. We would all like to see them!

    Here are some postcards from the Royal Mint in England. I think these are pre-1920's

    This one is a 1842 German made coin press that's in the Copenhagen Mint in Denmark.
