Had the privilege a couple of years ago of visiting the Royal Mint in Wales, where they were STILL producing - amongst lots of other stuff - old campaign medals.

And the quality control was amazing. They produced some of their rejects, gave me a large magnifying glass and invited me to spot the flaw which caused rejection. Beat me - they all looked perfect. Maybe TTN could have spotted a fault; I certainly couldn't't!
