Most coins produced in the 1700s were made with the screw press. A rolling machine rolled the metal to the desired thickness, then a punch machine punched out the coin blanks and then the blanks were placed in the screw press between the dies and men turned the screw which applied pressure to the dies and pressed the images on the coin.
