Coin related by words...

Hi guy's, Here I am at work on my break, thinking? This is how my new discussion came about. At your workplace, what best describes a coin related subject that you see at work? Meaning, say you work at a grocery store. Right away cash or coins come to mind because of the register. If you should happen to work at a coin B+M shop, forget it. There are tons of words to be coin related. LOL. Here's mine. I work at Ford Chicago Stamping Plant. So my coin related word would be a " Die". We have the " Die's" to stamp out car parts (doors, fenders, quarter panels, hoods and roofs). I'm sure one can think of even more than just one word(s) at their workplace. How 'bout you guy's? Thanks in Advance!

In my professional career, we had dies and volume presses....Now, I just work around a lot of metal... brass, lead, steel and occasionally silver... ... also have seen some nice 'engraving'...Cheers, RickO

When I was in the optical business, we were competing with cheap Chinese knock offs. Guess that is related to coins in 2020.

Pretty cool working with silver. That brings to mind another coin related theme to my workplace. Ford has been using "Aluminum". Yes, Ford uses aluminum for some of their trucks! (Ricko, you mentioning the metals in your workplace, made me think of this). This also reminds me of the famous and very scarce, 1974 Aluminum Jefferson.
