coin press

Currency stamping machine

A coin press is a machine that stamps metal blanks into coins, impressing designs onto both faces with tremendous force.

The technology dates to the Renaissance, replacing hand-struck minting.

Modern coin presses can produce hundreds of coins per minute.

Collectors also use smaller presses to create commemorative medallions or tokens.
