Wait! I think I saw a "Property US Mint" label on the press! ALL of the coins are now Rare Mint Errors! Half Cents! Half Dimes! Half Nickels! Half... other coins I don't really recognize. And the REALLY interesting 19(?) coin mated pair... wait... what would 19 coins be... I can't find anything online, so I'll call it a "YokoCluster!"
Anyone interested in a custom YokoCluster? Nineteen (or twenty) coins of the date and denomination of your choice! Price is available on request. Now all I need is a 100 ton press and a brass plaque with "US Mint" on it! Right?
ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
I personally thought he was crazy for reaching there with his bare fingers. Those things probably have really sharp edges, and/or are probably really hot. Not exactly something you'd want to touch.
Thanks for posting this. When I was a boy, I used to, whenever the opportunity presented itself, I would lay Cents on the railroad tracks and hope to find the newly Minted via Locomotive crushed coins. That ejection process would sometimes spit a coin out fifty feet or more. Whilst being accosted by a rail Bull, he informed me that a single coin on the tracks is enough to actually derail a locomotive and I never did it again.
Probably not that hot, the force was applied over a period of 23 seconds, there was plenty of time for any energy converted to heat to dissipate. When a coin is struck in a coining press basically the same tonnage of force is applied over a period of .07 seconds and the coin coming out of the press, while warm enough to be uncomfortable, aren't hot enough to really burn you.
@bobby131313, A couple weeks ago, I showed that video to my boss and asked what our HS-5000 would do to that stack of coins. He shook his head and said "no." I saw the grin though.
My boss and I may be old, but boys will always be boys.

The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.
Way back when I was a kid there was street cars that ran on tracks. It was almost a necessity to put a coin on the tracks to see if it would derail the cars. Not even a bump.
I only told part of it. I was gluing them to the track, so the pinch of initial contact wouldn't fling them at lethal speed to who knows where lol I'd glue multiple denominations together and glue them to the track. The Bull who told me said since the coins were staying in place, that creates a high spot and theoretically can cause the locomotive to jump off the track.
