<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1649573, member: 66&quot;]If there was actually something inside the planchet, think about what would have happened when the strip was rolled down to blank thickness.&nbsp; Whatever it was would either have been crushed by the rollers, or if it was too hard to crush it would have either down severe damage to the rollers, or it would have been torn out of the strip as the strip passed on through the rollers and the &quot;chunk&quot; didn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>If somehow you could have a planchet with a chunk of something inside it and it was struck by the dies what would happen?&nbsp; Once agian either the dies would crush the chunk flattening it to the same contours of the rest of the coin, or if it couldn&#039;t be crushed it would stop the die from coming together completely causing the &quot;chunk&quot; to poke through the metal, and preventing areas of the coin from being struck up at all.&nbsp; It might also cause damage to the dies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
