[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 490216, member: 8247"]Hmmm, that would really be surprising (although not a shocker) to find out that the positioning is done manually. I've done some work inside a machine shop (had to validate some processes so I didn't work with any of the equipment directly), but it was 5 years ago I remember seeing them get a laser engraver where they could automate laser etching in order to achieve almost dead on repeatability. Most parts had a jig made up for alignment that couldn't be screwed up and a script to run the laser. This was just a small machine shop. I would think the BEP would have the leading edge technology for producing our most sacred money. But then again, they are cousins to the same group that predicted some $1 Billion Plus demand for Dollar Coins last year (they're still paying americans to help force them into the Federal Reserves Vaults).[/QUOTE]
