The manufacturing process for Coin Blank has the following stages:

Metal Strip - Roll To Gauge - Punch Cores - Deburr Cores - Rim Cores - Preplating Clean And Rinse - Nickel, Aureate Or Copper Electroplating - Post Plating Rinse - Plated Blank Drying - Heat Treatment, Annealing - Descaling, Pickling and Burnishing - Automated Mechanical And Optical Inspection, Quality Control - Packaging.
 
Process of Burnishing, Polishing, Descaling and Pickling of Coin Blanks


After heat treatment and annealing, burnishing, polishing, descaling and pickling is employed to make the surface of the coin blank brighter, remove any surface scaling or discolouration and in some cases apply a minute amount of lubricant to assist in coining.

This process is carried out in a Vibratory or Centrifugal Finishing Machine that tumbles the coin blanks with a mixture of stainless steel balls and other media like ballcones and special chemicals, which etch and polish and brighten the surface. At times this process is preceded by a run in ceramic media.

After burnishing in stainless steel media, the coin blanks are dried by passing them through a hot air drier or by tumbling them with heated corncob to remove all water marks and to prevent any subsequent tarnishing or atmospheric oxidation. The annealed, burnished and dried blanks are stored ready for coining.

The burnishing operation is also employed after stamping of the coins.

Quality: The lustre attained during the burnishing process depends largely on the quality of the stainless steel balls. The balls used are spherical and are polished, lapped and passivated.  Process specifications, most of the times, require completely non magnetic balls.

Steel: Generally AISI 304 stainless steel balls are used. For higher burnishing requirements, AISI 316 steel balls are preferred.

Size and Shape: Depending upon the size of the coin blanks, ball diameters ranging from 2 mm to 6 mm (5/64" to 15/64 inch size) are suitable. A mixture of sizes is also used. Generally, 3x5 mm size ballcones or satellites are mixed with the spherical balls to polish the edges and engravings, if any. For trial runs, eclipse balls are used for cost savings.

Manufacturer: Techbuff stainless steel media manufactured by Technocon Engineers, India is the preferred choice of many coin blanks manufacturers and mints worldwide because of its excellent quality and very competitive prices.

 
Range of Coins and Blanks

Burnishing is required in all types of monometallic and bimetallic coins – stainless steel, copper covered steel, bicolor coins, nickel and aureate-bonded nickel blanks, nickel bonded steel, coin blanks out of precious metals, especially out of fine silver, silver copper alloys, aureate, Nordic Gold alloy, fine gold and gold alloys, as well as Platinum with various surface finishes and in different shapes and sizes.
