Cajunlady0 Valued Member United States 318 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 7:40 pm Interesting video. There sure were "rough" with those coins. I thought they would have been handled a little more gently. Not an expert on how they are made now versus then, but I know nowadays there is a softer touch through the assembly line at least on the proofs. I couldn't tell either what coins they were making.

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 7:56 pm I think they are British Sovereigns. Based on " The Trial of the Pyx" reference it is a U.K. film. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_the_Pyx Report this Post to the Staff
VetStudent Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 8:15 pm cool footage, just needed a good muting from that awful music! Report this Post to the Staff
Newmismatist Valued Member United States 197 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 8:39 pm Very interesting video. I kept wondering what they did for security--ensuring that no one slipped a few coins in their pocket. That dude who "rings" the coins by rapidly throwing them against a metal slab has real skills.

argentum Pillar of the Community United States 1195 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 11:30 pm Interesting video However, 1920's film footage + 2000's ElectroRockMixType music = Incongruous Juxtaposition Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 06:53 am Well just don't blame me for the music I too found it a strange mix. Got this video in a link from one of my weekly coin blogs I subscribe to. Glad you all enjoyed it too. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

3stooges Pillar of the Community United States 511 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 7:09 pm Great film, especially for those of us who like old black and white flicks. Who was the moron who dubbed in the techno noise on a 1920 film? Report this Post to the Staff
ContraJame Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 7:40 pm Great music video but what was that weird machinery stuff going on in the background? I too was impressed with all of the workers who had to manipulate the money, be it by flinging coins at a plate or by shuffling them around on conveyors. Cool stuff. Report this Post to the Staff
