    That is cool! I wonder if he made friends with any of those workers and got them to send him their "floor scraps". image

    Thats very neat. I particularly loved the 1983 silver panda galvano, as well as the punched gold strips (I bet they feel incredibally heavy). Does anyone know what mints do with those master carvings?
