<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 3051834, member: 40017&quot;]I&#039;m not sure there is an equivalent tool in English mints. I looked up via google and discovered the &quot;Zaine&quot; is the red hot rod of metal produced in the mint on the way to making coins, and the &quot;Haken&quot; is for hook. I do not know of a specific English word for the Zaine - the general word for pieces of metal in a process is &quot;billet&quot; so I would suggest &quot;billet-hook&quot; is probably the closest you will get. I suppose &quot;ingot-hook&quot; is possible but sounds ungainly. There is the word &quot;billhook&quot; which is a curve-bladed hand axe used for trimming wood.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
