Two examples one of a worn discarded tool used to make this type of coin at the Mint here. and one of the coins I watched them making. A mate of mine has worked there from an apprentice in the workshop to around 40 yrs of service now.WAtching the machine spray the colour in the centre was almost spiritual. To find this and other series coins in your change.....love it.

Peter.
