The press moved to the site of the new Science Museum in 1933-34, in order to strike aluminum tokens for visitors. A bust of Benjamin Franklin appeared on the souvenir coin, with the facade of The Franklin Institute on its reverse. </p><p>From-http://www.fi.edu/learn/sci-tech/coin-press/coin-press.php?cts=instrumentation</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They don&#039;t look aluminum though. How much do they weigh?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
