<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 205624, member: 669&quot;]As I understand the minting process, a cart full of planchets is dumped into a hopper from which they are fed one-by-one into the press, and then into another cart.&nbsp; For the DeadPrez coins they then go through the edge lettering process, which ends up putting them in another cart that dumps them into the machine where they are bagged.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a blank planchet happened to stick in the cart at the first stage, it would still be there when the cart was used to pick up milled coins and take them for edge lettering.&nbsp; That planchet would go through the rest of the process with stamped coins, and unless a QC inspector happened to be awake at the time and removed it, the planchet would get bagged.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>No one is looking at individual coins when they are being machine counted and wrapped in rolls from the mint bags, so it winds up in circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
