Minting presses are today working upto 750 strokes per minute and this means not only a high increase of the forming speed of the coinage material, but also of its running speed in contact with the coining dies. High-speed minting presses are only efficient and economical, if the relatively expensive coining tools have a long and trouble-free service-life. This implies a growing demand for coinage blanks which are very accurate to size with a high surface finish.

3C coin blanks meet these requirements.
