ncirculated coins are manufactured in much the same way as circulated coins except for the following: - More attention and time is given to the preparation of the die surface finish,
- The coins are struck with greater pressure than the circulating coins to improve the sharpness of the design.
- More care and attention is applied at each step in the coining process to minimise damage, consequently a much lower production rate of about 30,000 coins per press per day is achieved.
- Uncirculated coins are packaged individually into plastic sleeves, presentation folders or occasionally presentation cases.
