<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 822414, member: 15199&quot;]What Ben mentions about the computerization and the CNC production of dies, simulations of striking and metal flow can be produced to show how new designs would appear under different striking pressures and metal composition. It would be possible also to simulate wear patterns . It is going to be interesting if such new techniques are used to their optimum. CNC wood routers are available for under $2500, and can be modified to make CNC metal milling possible.&nbsp;&nbsp; With the relative ease the mint could make dies, is it too far off before the mint starts selling a commercial advertising space on coins? Imagine &quot;Coca-Cola&quot; as a privy mark under the mint mark on the cent.&nbsp; Nah....that could never happen&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
