Struck through coin fragment
Struck through coin fragment Struck through coin fragment is a type of error that occurs when a flap of previously coined metal is not ejected from the beating chamber. Simultaneously, another planchet is inserted from the feed arm into the beating chamber, which is struck together with the coin fragment. As a result, the fragment…

Struck through fragment
Struck through fragment The struck through fragment is a type of coin error that occurs when a metal fragment becomes trapped in the beating chamber along with the newly inserted planchet and is subsequently struck by dies at the same time. The fragment then detaches from the newly minted coin, leaving behind a cavity with…

Struck through lubrificant
Struck through lubrificant Struck through lubricant is the most common type of minting error and occurs when lubricant from the machinery used for coin production greases the planchet or dies during the minting process. This error is generally evanescent and can partially or completely erase the design depending on the amount of lubricant that takes…

These foreign objects can range from solids to liquids, such as grease, bolts, plastic, planchets, coins, fragments of other minted coins, and more. When a foreign…

Die Clash
Die Clash In modern currency presses, it is imperative to adjust the minimum distance between the two dies to prevent collisions, even in the absence of a planchet. Nonetheless, incorrect adjustments or malfunctions can reduce the minimum distance to zero, which may result in die collisions if a planchet is not fed into the ferrule…

Canceled coins and dies Canceled coins are a type of coin error that represents real production waste from the mint. The term “production waste” encompasses all coins that are minted regularly and produced in excessive numbers or entire batches of coins that have been defective and rejected by quality control. Minting errors are almost always…
