Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for assembly of coin components. Two or more coin components are received in an assembly station having at least two assembling members. The assembling members may be configured to form a chamber comprising the cavities and at least one assembling member may be movable over an assembling path. A merging force may be applied for assembling the coin components together to allow continuous production of joined coin components such that when the movable assembling member travels along the assembling path, one coin component locates within the other, thereby forming a coin assembly over a non-zero distance.

Abstract: A composite coin, coin blank, medal or token structure provides an inner stack, an outer ring surrounding the inner stack, and a separator, an authentication method and method of manufacture for the same. The inner stack comprises one or more inserts stacked on top of each other. The separator is disposed between the outer ring and the inner stack separating the outer ring from the inner stack and separating the plurality of inserts from each other.
