Benefits of technology

The invention provides a solution for making coins or medals that can be used as a memento for many years and have very few visible changes over time. The coins or medals are made using a special embossing process which ensures high stability and can hold a lot of information. The use of metals also allows for a smaller size of the coin or medal, making it easier to transport. The patent describes a specific embossing method where a V-shaped soundtrack is embedded into the surface of the coin or medal, allowing for stereo recording. The use of a very smooth embossing process and a small gap between the embossing stamp and embossing ring ensures minimal material loss. Commercially available record players can also play the embossed coins or medals.

Problems solved by technology

Chocolate is a highly perishable material which also does not have a high level of temperature stability.

Embodiment Construction

[0039]FIG. 1 shows a top view of a coin or medal 2 in accordance with the invention with a circumferential outer edge 3. A coin or medal in accordance with the invention has a diameter of about 50 mm to 150 mm, in particular about 100 mm. A spiral-shaped soundtrack 6 is embossed on the surface 4 of the coin or metal 2. As in the case of a commercially available record, the soundtrack 6 consists of a continuous uninterrupted groove which extends at a small distance from the outer edge of the coin or medal 2 to the free surface in the middle thereof. This free surface in the middle of the coin or medal 2 in which there is no soundtrack 6 is necessary since this region, by reason of the design of a commercially available record player 12, cannot be played and has a diameter of approximately 20 mm to 50 mm in the case of a coin and 50 to 100 mm in the case of a medal. However, if a dedicated playing device for the coin or medal 2 is made, it would be possible to make it in such a way th...

The use of coins or medals as gift items to communicate information is known from DE 10 2004 033 356 A1. In that case a storage medium (for example a USB stick) is used which is incorporated into the interior of the coin or medal. The surface of the coin or medal serves in that instance for decorative purposes.[0003]The embossing of motifs, which are formed only from arranged rows of depressions, on coins or medals and the associated embossing stamp are known from DE 601 02 007 T2. In that case, the colour shading of embossed images is generated by means of the distance between rows of impressions positioned very cl...
