The blanks and dies are then sent to the coin press. A machine stamps the dies onto each side of the blank to make the new coin. It's sort of like a sandwich! This process is called striking. |

A
press operator uses a magnifying glass to spot check each batch
of new coins. The ones that come out bad are sent through
a sizer. The sizer removes any dents in a quarter. The new
coins are then counted, checked for quality, and stuffed into bags
that are loaded onto a dolly.
The dolly dumps the bags into armored cars,
and takes them to Federal Reserve Banks.
The banks across the country will be sent the new coins from the
Federal Reserve Banks.
