🪙 How Coins Are Made

Let’s dive into the awesome world of coin making! 💰✨

It all starts with metal—like copper, nickel, or zinc. Big metal sheets are rolled out, and then machines punch out blank circles called blanks. These are the babies of the coin world—they’re smooth and have no pictures or numbers yet! 🥚

Next, the blanks go for a ride through a special oven to get super hot. This softens the metal so it’s easier to shape. 🔥🍳

After heating, they take a quick swim in a cool bath to harden again. Then, they get all shiny and smooth in a tumbler that cleans them up—like a giant coin washing machine! 🧼🌀

Now comes the fun part: stamping the design! Huge machines press pictures, words, and numbers onto both sides of the blank with a super strong ka-CHUNK! 💥 This turns the blank into a real coin!

After that, every coin is checked to make sure it’s perfect. If it passes the test, it’s ready to be used in vending machines, stores, or—maybe even added to a treasure chest! 🏴‍☠️💰

Pretty cool, right? Coins may be small, but making them is a big deal! 😄🪙
