Yeah, the funny part is when they say it's problematic to strike but we don't care, we've been doing it the hard way for years... Paraphrasing ;)
"The alloy is hard, die wear is high, and only low relief designs can be struck in coining presses (but Italy had experience in striking a hard nickel alloy since 1919)."
Haahaha, nuts.
