[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 3665241, member: 41219"]That's cool :) This is from wikipedia: Brockage errors are caused when an already minted coin sticks to the coin die and impresses onto another blank that hasn't been struck yet, pressing a mirror image of the other coin into the blank. In the production of hammered coinage, brockages were very common, although largely restricted to obverse brockages, as the mint worker would likely notice if the coin was stuck in the reverse anvil die. I guess that doesn't explain the origin of the word lol. Still interesting.[/QUOTE]
