They don't make it real easy to find, and for some reason I have never been able to get a direct link to it to work. But if you follow this link...
The current presses are single dies and run at around 720 coins per minute or about 12 coins per second. The edge lettering machine runs even...
It isn't the same obv die as Desertgem's S-2 and I believe the S-1 shows a lump at the lower left of the 8 which this does not.

I think he may be talking about the stars, the 2007 and 2008 dollars didn't have them. When they removed the IGWT from the edge they had to...
