<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Neal, post: 4428116, member: 43872&quot;]For most countries, the obverse (front) of a coin is lined up opposite, or 180 degrees turned, from the reverse (back).&nbsp; If someone at the mint installs a die 180 degrees (or some other amount) from the true and expected position, until someone corrects it all the coins minted with that die pair will be &quot;rotated,&quot; that is, the obverse (front) will not line up with a 180 degree turn from the reverse (back).&nbsp; For some countries, the regulation alignment is the same for both front and back.&nbsp; Great Britain is an example, so a modern British coin with any other alignment would be considered rotated.&nbsp; The dies do not rotate while making the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
