How COINS Are Made?

Coins are made by pressing metal into shapes just like cookies are pressed into molds.

First, you take a big sheet of metal, think of it like a giant chocolate bar. This sheet is then cut into small pieces called blanks, which are like the cookie dough before it goes in the oven.

Next, these blanks go through a special machine that presses them into shapes, just like how a cookie cutter makes cookies look the same every time. This machine has two parts: one on top and one at the bottom. When they press together, they make the coin take its final shape.

Sometimes, coins also get a little shine or design added to them, like how you might draw on your cookies with icing. But most of the time, it's just pressing, simple, fast, and fun!
