I asked about 1 years ago what ton press is needed to coin up bullion bars. No answer from this forum :(

I have something now, going yo see and ask directly to press producer in order to set up a small mint.

20 Ton press is quite enough to coin just a 1mm thin gold bar.
Fot a 100gr bullion bar with a thickness of 5/7mm a 120/160 tons press is suggested.
Of course this is just ti "fill" the stamp. Other ton quantities are needed to obtain a very fine angle/curve on the surface drawings (like coins).

1- Process to coin is ROLL to obtain a perfect thickness
2- Cut to obtain exact weight and stamp form
3- Red-Heat not-fine bard obtained to preserve stamps
4- Coin to fill out the stamp.

What i'm tring to do is pouring in a definied mold making weighted gold obtaining not fine ingots to go directly on point 4.
This is to not buy roller and cutter too!
A 200 tons press and customized stamps are very wxpensive here. Dont know there.
 
Casting porosity may spoil your perfect weight blanks.

Video from the US mint show rolled and punched blanks being lathe trimmed to adjust the weight before being pressed into a coin.
