<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1243639, member: 11521&quot;]Making or getting dies will probably be your greatest obstacle. You will also need:</p><p><br /></p><p>A rolling mill to roll out your metal into sheets.</p><p>A blanking machine to punch out your blanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, you can use a hammer to strike your coins (been there, done that) but you will need some sort of apparatus to hold everything in place while you strike the coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>You should consider using pewter instead of aluminum. Pewter is soft enough for your purposes and does not need to be heated before being struck. </p><p><br /></p><p>Check out Badger Mint on Facebook. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also check out this video on YouTube. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlTG2mV33So" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlTG2mV33So" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlTG2mV33So</a> A coin is being struck by hammer using a hot planchet or flan. I have used the setup in the video but the coins I struck were pewter. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
