I found this interesting. I always thought the blanking and stamping operations occurred in the same facility -- the US Mint. I didn't know that blanks were made at a different facility and then shipped to the Mint for stamping.

At least the driver wasn't seriously hurt. Big clean-up job ... lots of 'souvenirs'.  |

Hmm , I wonder how many highway cleanup people pocketed some of those blanks ? If they get into the wrong hands, e-bay will be swamped with not so caring sellers trying to dump these blanks as Mint Errors .  |

The blanks are worth more before they are stamped.  |

Shouldn't the TPG's be giving credit to Jarden Zinc for clipped-planchets? Instead of being a "mint error", it should probably be changed to "Jarden Zinc/Mint error" instead eh?  |

Maybe some will be the super rare "auto(car)-struck" variety.
