Minting
Riddling in coin making refers to the process of sorting and separating coins based on their quality and characteristics. This typically involves inspecting the coins for defects, ensuring they meet specific standards before being released for circulation. The term can also apply to the removal of impurities or foreign materials from the coin blanks. Overall, riddling is a quality control step in the minting process.
The Krugerrand coin was minted in 1967 making the earliest coins about 44 years old.

The U.S. started making 1 cent coins in 1793. However, the first pennies (i.e. the coins that are really called pennies, not nicknamed) were minted in England as far back as the 8th century AD.
Slabbed proofed dollars refer to coins that have been graded and encapsulated in a protective plastic holder, known as a "slab," by a professional grading service. The term "proof" indicates that these coins were struck using a special process to create a high-quality finish with mirror-like surfaces and sharp details. Slabbing protects the coins from environmental damage and provides a standardized grading, making it easier for collectors to assess their quality and value.
Coins are made from metal alloys that are formed to discs and then struck with a punch to mark them with their two sides, a process called "coining". The unmarked discs are called blanks and the whole process takes place in a mint.
"They" have not stopped making 20 cent coins.
