i cant understans why they would overstrike a coin ?
Here are a couple potential reasons:
1. The old coin might have been issued by someone who fell out of favor with the current administration.
2. If the old coin was heavier than the new weight standard, then the flan could be legally clipped and the extra bits of metal pocketed as profit by the mint.
