<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2075757, member: 112&quot;]&quot;Special Handling&quot; does not equate to kid gloves. It merely means the coins are handled a bit more carefully than the coins that are struck for circulation are handled. </p><p><br /></p><p>To put that into proper perspective, you first have to know how the circ coins are handled. Basically, there is no care taken. They spit out of the press at a rate of around 400-700 per minute and are ejected into a large hopper where every coin lands on another coin. They are then dumped, and I mean dumped, into a counting and sorting machine. they are then dumped into a large bag on a pallet. A bag so big it takes a forklift to lift it. They are then to rolling centers where the bags are split and dumped yet again into another counting and sorting machine, and then onto a rolling machine.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Mint Set coins however still go into a hopper right from a press. They are then packaged by machine. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s special handling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
