Pair of Edward III dies, c1353-5
A heated coin blank was put between the two dies, the top die was then hit with a hammer to impress the images.
The London Mint (one of the many mints in England) moved to the Tower of London in 1279 and remained at the Tower until 1809, when it relocated to East Smithfield nearby.
In its earliest years at the Tower the Mint was probably based near the Byward Tower at the west end of Mint Street. Over the years, the Mint grew and expanded until it took up nearly all the space between the Inner and Outer Curtain walls of the Tower.
Making coins is an industrial process. Coins were brought in and checked carefully by the Warden or his staff before being sent to the assayer who tested how pure the metal was.
Once this was determined, coins were melted down and mixed with alloys to achieve the correct purity of metal.
The metal was poured into ingots which were then beaten or rolled to the thickness of a coin. Blank coin-shaped circles were then cut. This was a very skilled job as the blanker had to ensure each blank was the correct weight by using shears to trim it to the right size.
Finally the blanks were placed between dies and struck into coins. Striking coin was actually the least skilled job in the Mint. In the medieval period coins were struck by a hammer, and all that was required was an accurate aim and a strong blow.
From 1663, machines called screw-presses were used instead. These could exert a much greater force on the coin blank, and the resulting coins were more neat and regular in appearance, and could be made much more quickly.
Once the coins were struck, they were placed in a light acid solution which ‘blanched’ or cleaned them before they were sent back to the Mint office to be checked and handed to customers. Many of these processes still happen in the Royal Mint today.

Toruń - deutsch Thorn - liegt im Kulmerland an der Weichsel in Polen. Die Siedlung Thorn entstand 1231 unter der Verwaltung des Deutschen Ordens - 1260 wurde die Burg Thorn erbaut. Im 14. Jahrhundert trat Thorn dem Hansebund bei. Ebenso wie Danzig kam Thorn 1793 im Rahmen der zweiten polnischen Teilung zum Königreich Preußen. Nach Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges wurde Thorn mit dem größten Teil der Provinz Westpreußen aufgrund der Bestimmungen des Versailler Vertrags 1920 an die Zweite Polnische Republik abgetreten. Nach dem Überfall Nazideutschlands auf Polen wurde Thorn 1939 vom Deutschen Reich annektiert; 1945 besetzte die Rote Armee die Stadt, die wieder Teil Polens wurde. 1997 wurde die mittelalterliche Altstadt von der UNESCO zum Weltkulturerbe erklärt. Auf einer Fläche von 115 km² leben ca. 200 000 Einwohner*Innen.

The occasion was the January 20, 2005 counter-inaugural protest demonstration held in Washington, DC, USA. Approximately 10,000 people marched to protest the second inauguration of George W. Bush (Dubya). Freezing cold temperatures and high winds made it very uncomfortable. The die-in protested Bush's Iraq War.
Factoid:
The Iraq War finally ended in December 2011 when the last US troops exited Iraq. For Coalition combat forces, security forces & others, 24,219 persons died and 117,961 persons were wounded. For Iraqi combat forces, 28,736 persons died and 37,120 persons were wounded. Documented Iraqi civilian deaths totaled 29,000 persons. Lancet estimated excess civilian deaths at 655,000 persons.
