<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tomfiggy, post: 2466164, member: 51884&quot;]In any industrail production line there is an inherent conflict between quality control on one hand and meeting production goals on the other. Anything that stops or slows the production line causing goals to slip reflects badly on the superintendents, workers, and foremen. There is also pressure from management to increase production. Quality control is viewed as a necessary evil. The doubled dies and other relatively minor errors still produce spendable coins of the correct weight, and size. . If no one looks too close who is the wiser? The choice to stop production to pull a die, and search for the problem coins reflects badly on all involved except for the quality control person who catches it. There would be an effort on the part of the crew to handle this as quietly as possible. Some coins that were mixed in with the millons of good ones quietly went on their way. They could have been noticed by the line workers but missed by quality control inspectors who typically come around a few times a day and take some samples to inspect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
