Why are coins round and not square or cubes, etc.?
In: 265
It’s easier to mint round coins, to mint a coin you have 2 dies, one on the front and one on the back and a blank heated coin, obviously a circle is easier to line up than any polygon.
Stamping the coins naturally makes them more disc-shaped anyway.
when coins were basically a guaranteed weight and purity of metal debasers used to clip the coins by cutting off the corners, round coins have no corners.
