<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2319117, member: 19165&quot;]A &quot;blank planchet&quot; is definitely redundant and confusing. Review the terms: </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>A &quot;blank&quot; and a &quot;planchet&quot; are two different things. Thus, to call something a &quot;blank planchet&quot; shows a lack of understanding of the terms. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, when people call something a &quot;blank planchet&quot; what they really mean is that it is an &quot;unstruck coin.&quot; However, calling it a planchet is fully sufficient to describe the state of the metal. &quot;Planchet,&quot; by its very definition, means unstruck. Once it is struck (and thus no longer blank), it is now a &quot;coin.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are three stages - &quot;blank,&quot; which becomes a &quot;planchet,&quot; which becomes a &quot;coin.&quot; Each term is sufficient to describe the state of the item, on its own. </p><p><br /></p><p>What the OP has pictured is fully described by calling it a &quot;planchet.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
