| It is the aim of
this project to eventually encase all the 1 & 2 euros of all member
Countries in the WBCC copper ring. It is hoped that all dates and
mint marks will also be included.
Members had the opportunity
to purchase the encased sets of 1 & 2 euros from individual countries,
with the different dates and mint marks.
The production Method.
The surface of the copper strip
is marked (1) so that the maximum number of rings can be cut.
The inner hole (2) is then cut followed by the outer ring (3).
The euro coin is then fitted into the ring shown on the right and stamped.
The pressure of the stamping expands the ring to make a very tight fit.
The remaining copper strip with holes is known as sisal.
A kit (image below) consisting of a copper
strip with 2 large holes, a copper ring struck with WBCC dies and a
small copper centre is available with a purchase of an encased Euro
set.
