The method employed is to place a number of coins in a bag and shake them roughly until a portion of the metal is worn off by abrasion by friction. The dust thus obtained is sold and the coins are put into circulation again. About the author Mark McCracken Author: Mark McCracken is a corporate trainer and author living in Higashi Osaka, Japan.
