<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2008984, member: 112&quot;]It&#039;s pretty simple, there is only 1 way it could happen. Denomination 1, say $20, were being minted on a given press. Then, when finished they would switch over to start minting denomination 2, say cents. So the $20 dies were switched out of the press and the cent dies put in. But they screwed up and only switched 1 die. This leaves a cent die and a $20 die in the press. The minting run is begun, and a clash occurs. </p><p><br /></p><p>The mistake is then discovered, the $20 die is removed and the other cent die inserted. The minting run continues, thus producing clashed cents. Then that error is discovered after a small number of coins are produced. The clashed cent dies are removed and replaced with new ones, and the run continues.</p><p><br /></p><p>&#039;Bout all there is to it really.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
