<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 3666757, member: 87200"]I saw a video somewhere on the re-creation of the minting of ancient roman coins - first the blast furnace, the pouring the hot metal into a sheet of planchet moulds, the trimming of the planchets from the sheets, re-heating, and then striking with a die and an anvil. Not sure how much is known about the pre-blast furnace mixing of alloys and how the romans (and greeks) accomplished this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
