Title: New Zealand Coloured 50 Cent
Post by: Oldcoinchest on March 14, 2015, 08:46:45 PM
This is a video I found on the newly to be release commemorative coloured 50 cent. Minted by the Canadian mint and there is no sound for this video but pretty cool to watch some of the process.

Thanks for the video, Oldcoinchest.
I hate watching those coins dropping from a height into buckets though.
My head just hears, ding, ding, ding, etc.

I take it our coins are done the same so no bloody wonder we can't get a decent coin :dodgy: get the crap bashed out of it going into one hopper then bashed again going into another hopper or drum and old mate looks at one coin in how many so no wonder the coins of today are crap even in sets, makes me wanna :cray: But thanks OCC it makes you think :blink:
