I would really love to see,step by step,how coins are produced,I find it fascinating. Any ideas where I could find a dvd or website that goes into the making of coinage??Thanks..
Have you checked You-tube for How coins are made? https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how coins are made
Maybe this will help. http://www.coinnews.net/2013/09/13/how-the-philadelphia-mint-makes-hubs-and-dies-to-produce-coins/ Chris
Thanks for this!!! Some of the videos I've seen (like from "How It's Made"), are too quick and generic. Your link has lots more interesting details. One of these days, I'm gonna visit a mint. Wonder which is the best one.
While I have never visited any of the US Mint facilities, if I were to go, I think I would prefer to visit Philadelphia (more than the others) because of all of the historic landmarks relating to colonial times that are in and around the city. Chris
Agree. I've been there (Philly) before on a school trip. I'll never forget the awe of standing and looking at the Liberty Bell from up close.
Those landmarks are relatively close and easy walking distance. After you would get done there give me a call. I’ll come up and buy you a round!
Oh, I've been to Philly before. I'm originally from MD. It's just that I've never been to the Mint. I appreciate the offer, but I quit smoking and drinking at about the same time. Thanks! Chris
