The blanks which are light in weight are passed to the Meeting Department and melted.

The blanks of correct individual weight are then weighed by thousands to ascertain that their weight in bulk is satisfactory. They are then delivered to the Annealing Department, where they are "edge impressed", annealed and cleaned. One hundred pieces are then taken from each thousand of the cleaned blanks and weighed singly on automatic balances to ensure that no abnormal loss of weight has resulted during the annealing process. The whole of the cleaned blanks are then weighed by the thousand and coined.

Besides these weighings taken from each thousand cleaned blanks, one coin is carefully weighed on a chemical balance and its weight entered in a book. No Silver coin has yet been found to be outside the limits of the legal remedy of weight.

In the Coining Department similar care is exercised to prevent the production of coins economically defective. The coining presses used for striking the Silver coin are of Ralph Heaton's Patent as constructed by Messrs Ralph Heaton & Sons, Birmingham, and are the same form of press as that reported favourably by the Deputy Master.
