<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 328702, member: 11521&quot;]If the Monroe dollars were struck on quarter planchets the resulting coins would be larger in diameter than a quarter and possibly smaller in diameter than a dollar. They would also be much thinner than a dollar coin. When the dies come together the metal will expand out making the coin larger in diameter than the original planchet. Just like when you press on a balloon in one spot and it expands in another spot the planchet will expand outward when it is squeezed between the dies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
