<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 340156, member: 66&quot;]But how would they get separated from the rest of the dollar coins and then get from the dollar production line over to the quarter bagging area?&nbsp; (especialy since they are working on using conveyors to move the coins from one stage of th coining to another.&nbsp; So the coins would be struck, and go straight from there through a riddler (where thousands of the smaller wrong planchets would be falling through the screens) to the edge lettering area, and from there there stright to the dollar bagging area.&nbsp; No if they got out it would be in dollar ballistic bags not with the quarters.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I still think there issomething wrong with this report.&nbsp; I just find the whole idea impossible to believe. There are just too many human errors piled on top of errors that would have to occur for it to happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>Guy delivering quarter planchets doesn&#039;t notice that he is taking them to the dollar production area.</p><p><br /></p><p>When he dumps them in the feed hopper he doesn&#039;t notice that they are silver colored and the rest of the blanks in the hopper are copper</p><p><br /></p><p>The press operator who every few minutes takes a handfull of dollars out of the temporary strike hopper and examines them doesn&#039;t hotice that they are silver and not copperand releases them into the struck hopper.&nbsp; He does this not once but MULTIPLE times.&nbsp; (whn the coins come from the press they land in a temporary bin before being mixed with the output of other presses.&nbsp; Ever few minutes the operator is supposed to examine a sample to make sure they are ok.&nbsp; If they are he dumps those couple thousand into the main hopper with the coins from other presses.&nbsp; This is done specifically to catch errors early and to isolate them to one press.&nbsp; If they just went straight from the press to the mixed hopper, if an error is discovered they would have to condemn the entire output of ALL the presses.&nbsp; The temporary hopper holdes at most a few thousand coins. so it would have to be examined many times and the &quot;silver&quot; dollars missed for the number they claim were produced&nbsp; to get passed.)</p><p><br /></p><p>After&nbsp; coins are struck they are run through a riddler system that is designed to screen out mis-struck coins.&nbsp; (The first screening removes oversized coins (broad strike off centers etc, the second screening removes undersized ones such as clips and wrong planchets.)&nbsp; The dollars struck on quarter blanks should have been falling from the riddler like rainfall.&nbsp; No one noticed this and checked into it?</p><p><br /></p><p>The operator running the edge lettering machine didn&#039;t notice a bunch of silver collared dollars suddenly going into and coming out of his machine?&nbsp; Not to mention ther was probably a major change in the sound of the machine since it was no longer pressing hard against the edges of the coins because of their smaller size.</p><p><br /></p><p>It all just does&#039;t make sense.&nbsp; It is about a believable as a syrup tank running empty at a Coca-Cola bottling plant and no one on the production line noticing for two hours that the Coca-Cola bottles they are filling, sealing, and packaging are filled with just carbonated water.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
