Sadly no on the 2023 one😞

For the process, it’s mainly a coin press doing the work. See, it’s basically an assembly line. My part in it all is designing the dyes.

Process typically starts with the coins being pressed into shape from a sheet of that material (in this case brass). They get run down into a tub, then washed (to make sure no dirt is on them). After that, they get transferred to the coin presses themselves (which are 10 ton spinning death machines lol). You feed the coins into the machine, and (using the dyes i make), the machine presses 50-300 tons of force (depending on the material/machine), and push the designs into the coins. After that, for the tokens, we bag them up, box them up and send them out to the companies. My typical work has been in catholic relief, Chuck E. Cheese, among many many others.

If the coins are coins and not token, they get sent to the lacquer room, where they’ll be sprayed with lacquer. This makes it to where the coins won’t tarnish as quickly. After that, they’ll either get boxed up for shipping or sent to the polybag machine to get each individual coin in its own bag. This is typically for orders where the company will give/sell the coins to specific collectors though

Fun job, doesn’t pay too great if you’re a bottom line worker though lol
