Penny Production B-Roll 2012

This video shows the United States Mint in Denver producing the Lincoln one-cent coin.

And yet on several occasions I've encountered a blank planchet in circulation--usually a penny, but I believe I found a blank quarter once. It was the correct size, weight, and metal content, it simply hadn't been stamped, which explains why the machine at the bank didn't catch it.

These are the kind that fall from heaven. The ones you get at the grocery store are usually filthy.
The second half of this is great ASMR.

[@rickstaco]

Ahhhh so clean and uncirculated!

[@kaseydavidleboeuf2761]

Shiny pennies are so cool.

[@nolanrueckert8061]

I hate getting old

[@jameskenney1340]

I'm surprised they don't get all scratched up during this process

[@BertieW0oster]

Soooooooo Shiny! :D

[@molly19144]

That seems so fun to look through

[@ChillinRudy]

A penny is greater than a $100 bill

[@RJArens]

Costs more to make than it's face value.

[@collorcha]

The sound is relaxing

[@pdxeddie1111]

shiny as a brand new penny

[@kidbuumajin7315]

Another day, another penny

[@ItsSkyGuy]

It looks like someone hit a never ending jackpot 😂

[@silverdamascus2023]

And them comes the disappointment that these coins are almost worthless, doing the effort of counting them takes too long, and only if you get a lot of them you can get rich.
Plus, if you are the one paying for the machine to work, well, every penny made means you lost money.

This is the Denver, Colorado facility. I can tell because of the D mint mark below the date.

[@stuffs8802]

Bring back copper pennies. These look nice but are so worthless.

[@shawnv123]

they are not worthless

[@wayneives7811]

So they are made from nothing and just spin out of a machine by magic. Interesting.
