Funny and sad that our first thoughts, mine included, were "errors on ebay" after watching this.

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?

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.

I assure you this is false. Just make sure you are not standing on any of the tracks when the train comes...
