  "Each penny costs more to make than it is worth."  Only because of the amount that the currency has been devalued since the creation of the Federal Reserve.

  Now that pennies are being discontinued I guess I'll have to start giving people my nickel's worth instead of two cents...

  The scale of this is mind-blowing - 10 billion coins a year with machines kicking out tens of thousands a minute. Really makes you look at the change in your pocket differently.

  Surprisingly, this is the most in depth (by far) video on coin minting, and I’m truly grateful. The commentary I find is much too over the top and has a lot of unnecessary words. Like they’re  trying to appeal to kids, and make it more interesting, but I think they’d be surprised how little these dramatic words mean to kids these days

  Such an interesting look inside a coin factory, it is amazing to see how raw metal becomes finished currency.

  This documentary is absolutely incredible! 🤯 The level of detail you captured inside the U.S. Mint is mind-blowing. I never realized that making something as small as a coin involves such extreme industrial processes, especially the annealing furnace reaching 1,600° F [<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIwUqiedeRo&amp;t=131">02:11</a>] and the 540-ton striking press for collectible coins!<br><br>The way you explained the purpose of the upsetting mill [<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIwUqiedeRo&amp;t=271">04:31</a>] to create the protective rim, and how crucial the collar [<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIwUqiedeRo&amp;t=463">07:43</a>] is to prevent them from flattening like pancakes, was fascinating technical detail. It truly highlights the precision required for mass production.<br><br>Major props to the Beyond Facts team for unlocking these massive industry secrets and making them so easy to understand.
