There are four main types of metal stamping: coining, embossing, die-stamping, and pressing. Coining is the most basic form of metal stamping. It uses a small press to create small circular impressions in the metal. This is used to create coins, medals, tags, and other small pieces. Embossing is similar to coining, but it uses a bigger press to create deeper impressions in the metal. This is used to create things like medals and tokens. Die-stamping is similar to embossing, but the press creates more complex designs. This is used to create things like stamps and logos. Pressing is the most advanced form of metal stamping. It uses a huge press to make large impressions in the metal. This is used to create things like car doors and frames.
