<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 2463044, member: 51347&quot;]Very nice!&nbsp; Cool way to illustrate how the coins were made.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Your piece is actually a sprue with runners and would be WIP or Work in Process inventories. It would be remelted into Raw Materials Inventories (bronze). The trunk of that tree would be the Sprue, with the branches to the coins being the Runners.&nbsp; Where the Runner enters the Coin Mold/Mould would be the Gate.&nbsp;&nbsp; The gate on the coin is often filed (trimming process) to smooth out the break from the runner.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is amazing how casting/injection molding/etc. processes are virtually the same as several thousands of years ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
