[QUOTE="PEdoubleNIZZLE, post: 176857, member: 794"]Disclaimer: I'm not asking how to counterfeit coins or create an alternative to US coins (like the Liberty Dollar). Technically I'm making rounds and tokens. My question is, does anybody know of any resources (mainly web sites) on how to mint my own coins (I'm talking a single coin press, not a big production.) I was hoping there was a way I could use gears (I'm thinking an overall ratio of 1:200 (as in turning the crank connected to a small gear, say 1 inch 200 times will move the final gear by 1 inch. Not exact numbers here, but this is for clarification) If it helps, I'll only be minting on Copper (or brass or bronze) or silver (coin silver or .999 silver). I have the basic concepts down, and I would have to engrave the dies myself, but most of my "inventions" have proven that basic concepts give basic results. Thanks, Josh[/QUOTE]
