Mint error coins have long held a fascination for  collectors. These are coins which were printed incorrectly at the mint and escaped detection during the mints screening process. Although an embarrassing oversight for the mint,  these coins delight collectors for their novelty and scarcity. To put things in perspective, the U.S. Mint produces about 15 billion coins a year, of which roughly 50,000 are error coins and even fewer in South Africa. These problems produce what are known as strike errors and are the most highly prized error coins due to their rarity. Error coins in this category include broadstrikes, doublestrikes, or off-centre strikes.
