Coins on TV - Modern Marvels

[CarlWohlforth]

I just saw a nice, but too short, segment on minting coins. They were making Presidential dollars at the Philadelphia Mint. It was just a quick overview of the whole process from design to production. I liked a sign that said "watch out for falling coins." I guess coins could fall and bonk you on the head!

I watched it the philadelphia mint produces 20 million coins a day with 80 tons of presure for each coin and a 25 year life span for each coin the local footbal team wheel barrels out 1 million in coinage annually out of that 400 million year old cave /wishing well ?
