<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 463094, member: 112&quot;]The presses have 4 sets of dies in them at a time. But yes, they strike each coin once and spit &#039;em out. Modern dies may strike as many as a million coins or more before they retire them. When they minted Morgans a few hundred thousand was probaly tops. But often it was much less. Even back then though, the dies didn&#039;t last very long.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the heat - where do you think grease filled die strikes come from ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
