In January 2016, the Austrian Mint gave CoinWeek unprecedented access to the inner workings of their state-of-the art coining facility. In this video, we share with you how gold planchets are made, we get to watch as a press operator replaces a pair of broken dies, we see the striking of Gold Vienna Philharmonic coins, and we get to see what the Austrian Mint’s inspection team sees when they look through the glass to make sure that each Gold Philharmonic coin packaged is absolutely perfect. The Austrian Mint is a state-of-the art money factory and CoinWeek’s camera and microphones captured the unique sights and sounds of this amazing place.

    1. a seperate machine does the reeding, I couldn’t see any on the coins in the video so I assume it’s done after they inspect them for bad strikes

  1. In the past I always collected fractional gold eagles, but have now switched to austrian fractional gold bullion. For being a higher purity as well as lower price point this is my new favorite gold coin. Only have the 1/10 and 1/4 oz philaharmonic, and they are both absolutely stunning coins. The details on these are perfect and can tell they take pride in their coin making.

    1. I will check this out, just on looks alone they haven’t been my favorite, but with its lower premiums I will definitely consider a fractional piece for my next purchase! My number one choice has been the krugerrand, then the Britannia.

  2. I have a couple of these, beautiful coins for sure! This is very interesting to watch them being made.

  3. Seeing the coins being thrown around like that without denting makes me less worried about buying 24 karat instead of 22
