[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3931169, member: 19165"]I think we might not be understanding what you are asking. Are you asking, "Is there a standardized set of letter punches used to create the letters?" The answer to that is - there used to be. There were letter punches, and each die was hand crafted. This is not the case today - today in the US, dies are created on the computer and then a machine cuts them. The font used may be designed by the sculptor - there is no standard font on US coins.[/QUOTE]
