But how do they make the die? I'm assuming it's not steel

Hi, I work for South Korean broadcast company tvN we would like to use your video on our history show brI'm preparing a round to introduce the history of Rome Could you please let me know if we could use an excerpt from it giving the credit to your channel? brWe want to use this video to explain the process by which Roman coins are made brThanks :)

Jesus is the only way We have all sinned and deserve Hell Sins that may seem small in our eyes are big in God's and are worthy of Hell, such as lying lusting and stealing But if we repent and trust only in Jesus, he is faithful and will save us from Hell and give us eternal life in Heaven Trust in Jesus!brJohn 3:16brRomans 6:23😊❤❤

It's a pity the final step of hammering a blank was not done instead of using CGI

I’ve always wondered why the coins we find today aren’t perfectly round I wonder if it used to be perfectly round like coins today but just being that old they decay and lose their shape or if they didn’t care to make it perfectly round and just made the blanks round enough and didn’t really care to make it perfect Can’t seem to find any answers on this

Sorry don't think they made millions of coins this way

Nice work !
Comment from : @SuperMoeLarryCurly

In all honesty, this isn't too different from how coins are made today

''you can think of obverse and reverse as being similar to heads and tails'' thank you for making sure that millennials can also understand it

did not really follow through with the production

So many coins look very off center as if they were struck poorly Why were these allowed to go into circulation instead of just being melted back down again?

This is just superb, I have been researching "collecting coins for profit" for a while now, and I think this has helped Ever heard of - Wonenry Sonucas Approach - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got amazing success with it

How did romans carve into the steel stamps or dies?
Comment from : @kenhutch7727

Thanks you so much this video is a life saver
Comment from : @Sebster_m

it's a great demo, but it doesn't address the issue of the die-making I have examined many ancient coins with a powerful loupe and marvelled at the artists' skill in carving and engraving with some features less than a hundredth of an inch How were the die maker artists able to carve minute details like eyeballs, hair, etc into the die with what must have been very crude lenses made of water-filled glass spheres? Have there been any attempts to replicate this process?

I always wondered how Roman coins were made, thanks for the video!
Comment from : @joupe5268

Good history lesson 👍
Comment from : @worldview730

There is lots of evidence that blanks were struck cold, not hot or warmed People who have reproduced the process find cold blanks strike just as easily and are obviously far easier to work with
Comment from : @ytwar1

I do coin striking demos, if you want me to come to chicago and strike some coins for you I would be happy to do that
Comment from : @bartsaxton7071

I want to make my own coin with my face as the symbol
Comment from : @jason4275

THAT WAS COOL if i ever find a Roman Gold Coin, it would be cool not jsut for the gold content, but the history brbrwho has ever held a piece of man made any thing that is roughly the time of Jesus
