This process is for minting copper plated zinc pennies since 1982. The blanks are received from a company, Jarden Zinc which gets them from Chinese zinc mines. When the mint receives them, they are cut out, blanks then are softened into planchets at the mint then they are plated with copper. In the end they are coined, placed in mint bags, sent to the FED, rolled by armed car companies such as Brinks, then sent to banks, and then they are placed into circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Heres a video on how the U.S mint minted coins such as pennies in the late 1930s and early 1940s.</p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]slRuqBCl4gQ[/MEDIA]</p><p>Heres how they make pennies nowadays</p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]v4vMPqKcJtI[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
