Robots with Cameras Grab Uncirculated Coins ![]() It was taken from the center of the machine while turned off, and pans from left to right. This video offers a look inside of the blister packaging machine. Inside view of a very small section of the packaging machine It shows boxes of uncirculated coins that get fed into the blister packs. Overlaid at left is a closer view of a back section of the packaging machine. It gives a better scope of the machine’s length and width. This photo shows a top view of the blister packaging machine, as seen from a section of the Denver Mint’s Public Tour. The display panel at top includes information on speed, how many blisters have been packaged, and identifies locations of any problems.Ī stop and go conveyor system moves the packs to coining stages that are identified by denomination, beginning with Kennedy halves and Jefferson nickels, rotating through the five America the Beautiful Quarters and five $1 coins, and ending with Lincoln cents and Roosevelt dimes.īefore jumping into the robotics of how uncirculated coins get plucked and placed, here are several photos and a video of the blister packaging machine. This photo shows the beginning of the packaging line where empty blister packs are fed. At the rate of about 850 per hour, empty blister packs are fed into a long packaging machine. Now that we’re hopefully on the same page, let’s see how the coins are packaged and get into these folders.Ĭlear blisters are used to hold coins in place and protect their surfaces.

Then we saw how the packs get sealed, snapped inside a coin folder, and dropped off for inspection. We watched how smart robots pick up uncirculated coins, detect if they are upright, determine their orientation and then place them into opened blister packs. We observed probably several hundred sets made just in our short time there. Donald Bush, seen toward the back, makes sure everything runs smoothly. This machine uses robotics to place collector coins into blister packages. These popular sets, which most collectors call "Mint Sets," have annual sales of several hundred thousand units. Mint at Denver use robotics to build annual United States Mint Uncirculated Coin Sets. Most recently, we were lucky enough to discover how the tech teams from the U.S. It’s a blast watching numismatic coins coming to life in coining presses and then seeing how they’re packaged into sets by robots and other automated machines. ![]() Mint at Denver, Colorado, describes how uncirculated coin sets are made.
