| New Mint | London sight/attraction | 9 | Built on little Tower Hill built between 1806 and 1811, it was one of the earliest public buildings lighted with gas. The old process of minting coins was done by hand, this new process used steam. The process is that the gold and silver bullion is alloyed, cast into small bars, and passed through powerful rollers and by the draw bench are brought to the right thickness. Circular discs are then punched out of this sheet, they are separately weighed and sounded, have a protective rim raised and are blanched and annealed. These blanks are then taken to the coining room. There was an automatic feed for these blanks to a screw press which simultaneously stamped the design on both sides of the coin. There were a number of different steam machines and processes used in the new mint. Felix wants to visit this because it has powerful steam-engines and gas lighting. | |
