HS v2022 Code: 7118
About coin
HS code 7118 covers the trade of coins, which are a fundamental component of modern monetary systems. Coins serve as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of value, facilitating economic transactions and enabling the flow of goods and services. The coin industry is closely tied to the broader financial sector and plays a crucial role in the global economy.
Production process
The production of coins typically involves a minting process. Raw metal, such as gold, silver, or copper, is melted and then pressed or stamped into the desired shape and design. Advanced techniques may include the use of specialized machinery, such as coin presses, to ensure consistent quality and precision. The minting process often incorporates security features, such as intricate patterns or engravings, to deter counterfeiting.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the coin industry include precious metals, such as 7106 Gold, 7107 Silver, and 7401 Copper, as well as specialized minting equipment and machinery. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, including mint workers, designers, and engineers, to ensure the efficient and secure production of coins.
Production outputs
The primary output of the coin industry is, of course, coins themselves. These coins are then used in various financial transactions and as a store of value. The coin industry's output may be consumed by 7101 Coin not being used as legal tender, 7102 Coin used as legal tender, and other related industries that require coins for their operations.
