<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CentDime, post: 212932, member: 7297&quot;]I remember seeing the TV show &quot;Secrets of the US Mint&quot; and it said what it all was for striking the coins. I remember they did the silver quarters and they could only make 10 a minute and struck them once. The gold coins they struck three times, and the platinum five times. They said they used the high pressure because it melts the surface of the coin into the die and gives it the surface we see.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
