Copper and nickel ribbons, which are about 13 inches wide and 1,500 feet long, are fed through a blanking press, like a giant cookie-cutter, punching out round, plain-surfaced disks called blanks. The leftover strip, called webbing, is chopped and recycled.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-148v2u6l-cf6b5fe7ca56c3377e45cda7b30cd93a\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-148v2u6l-cf6b5fe7ca56c3377e45cda7b30cd93a{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-148v2u6l-cf6b5fe7ca56c3377e45cda7b30cd93a hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-luqnv3hg-db0a1eeff3195deabd1a9a3f4c26bb2c '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Annealing &amp; Upsetting<\/h2>\n<p>The blanks are heated in an annealing furnace to soften the metal of the blank and are then poured through a huge washer and dryer.
