The Mint produces coins at a prodigious rate, something like 12 coins per second if I remember correctly. This particular die is only one of those worn out in a single day. The life of a die can vary greatly, anywhere from striking as few as a dozen coins to striking over a million.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
