Coin Minting Process

Coin minting is the process of producing coins through several precise steps. First, metal blanks called planchets are created from raw metal. These blanks are fed into a minting press, where high pressure and engraved dies imprint the coin’s design—such as images, text, and denominations—onto both sides. The process ensures consistent shape and detailed design. Quality checks follow to verify accuracy. Finally, coins may undergo polishing and packaging. This entire process combines metallurgy, craftsmanship, and machinery to produce durable, uniform, and aesthetically detailed currency used in everyday transactions.
