minted coins
Pressed metal currency
Minted coins are coins produced by an official mint—a facility authorized to manufacture currency.
The phrase emphasizes that the coins were struck or stamped through proper channels rather than counterfeited: The hoard contained freshly minted coins from the Roman era.
Minting involves pressing metal blanks with dies to impress designs and denominations.
