<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3642209, member: 66&quot;]Clawcoins, those tonnage figures you listed are HUBBING tonnages, the maximum pressure used in the hubbing of the steel dies not the striking of the coins.&nbsp; Tonnage pressure for striking cents is around 40 tons.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the die life of a cent die is between 1 and 1.5 million strikes.&nbsp; Nickel dies on the other hand last 300 to 500 thousand strikes.&nbsp; The other denominations around 750,000 strikes.&nbsp; So a cent die lasts about 28 hrs, a nickel die about 9 hrs, and the other denominations about 17 hrs.&nbsp; So you swap out the cent die each day, the nickel die each shift and the other denominations every other shift.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
