## Definition

In the case of curant coins, the difference between the material value of the coin and its face value. If this difference is relatively high, there is an incentive to mint the corresponding coin without permission. - In the case of medals in the form of restriking old coins or minting brand new pieces, the difference between the material value and the selling price. Because the market here is difficult to penetrate outside the circle of those directly involved in numismatics, the strike rate is often 100 percent or more. - See premium, coinage balance, coin, coinage profit, numismatics, mintage rate, regional money, seigniorage.
