EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate process of money making in the 20th century. In a bustling factory, workers can be seen diligently stamping and milling metal disks that will soon transform into valuable coins. The attention to detail is evident as each disk is carefully marked along its edge, providing protection against abrasion. The disks then undergo a meticulous cleaning process, starting with an acid wash followed by a thorough cleanse in sawdust. Once dried by hot air, they are ready for their transformation into currency. The top right corner of the image showcases the moment when these disks are stamped, bringing them one step closer to becoming fully-fledged coins. In a room filled with balances that are meticulously inspected daily, the finished coins find their ultimate destiny. As they fall automatically into one of three slots - heavy, light or correct - their weight determines their fate as legitimate currency. The photograph not only highlights the industrial nature of coin production but also emphasizes the importance placed on precision and quality control during this era. It offers us a glimpse into an era where craftsmanship and attention to detail were paramount in creating reliable forms of monetary exchange. Overall, this image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and dedication in manufacturing money – an essential aspect of our economic system throughout history.
