[edit] pressure

I've removed the reference to '22 tons of pressure' and substituted 'sufficient force' for two reasons. Firstly, as someone else pointed out, 'ton' is a force unit. The corresponding pressure would be 'tons per square inch' or suchlike. Secondly, the force needed to deform the coin will depend on the material, size, etc.

[edit] numismatism

"Numismatism" isn't a word. I've checked this with Websters and the American Heritage Dictionary. The correct term is "Numismatics." If you're going to edit an article on the subject, you should be sure to check the actual category name. Janna Silverstein 14:13, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
