The entire purpose of the coins is so they can be used as money. And this money (coins) must be designed in such a way that it can be produced economically, very, very quickly, and in the materials we have to work with.</p><p><br /></p><p>And for that to be possible the relief of the coins has to be very low. The design has to be capable of being struck up at fairly low pressures and at a high rate of speed in order to prolong the life of the dies.
