Abstract: A machine and method for reducing giveaway material on mint products. The machine may include a conveying assembly for conveying a plurality of mints products to be processed. The machine may also include a processing assembly for processing at least one given mint product at a time, so as to remove an amount of giveaway material from each one of the mint products. The machine may also include a recuperating assembly for recuperating mint products having being processed.

Abstract: A method for making bi-metallic members includes the steps of anodizing aluminum coming off of a coil, providing a metallic outer ring member having an inner hollow section by using a die to punch out the member off of the coil, providing a metallic inner core member by using a die to punch out the member off of the coil so that its shape fits within the inner hollow section of the metallic outer ring member, inserting the metallic inner core member into the inner hollow section of the metallic outer ring member so as to form a bi-metallic member, stamping the bi-metallic member to thereby hold the metallic inner core member and the metallic outer ring member together.

Abstract: A method of making a colored anodized aluminum inner core for making a bi-metallic member, such as a coin or a medal having a metallic outer ring member consists in a first step of anodizing the inner core with a coloring agent so as to create an anodized portion. Once anodized, the inner core is inserted into an inner hollow section of the outer ring member so as to make the bi-metallic member. Once the bi-metallic member is created, it is stamped with an engraving image into a coin, token, or medal.
