<p>[QUOTE="robbudo, post: 913119, member: 19243"]i went on a US mint tour a few days ago and saw the machine that puts the edge lettering on the dollar coins. They basically put a bucket of dollar coins and they haphazardly get pressed down flat, one by one, and then go through a quickly spinning disk that prints the edge on the coin. With every bucket, there was a coin or two that flew off the press on to the ground. Tilted lettering, missed coins, I fully understand how all these errors on those coins happen, and there are so many that the errors aren't worth much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
