Définition

• Fillet.  (2) A narrow strip of metal to be rolled into proper thickness for blanking into planchets; a small ingot. When metal is melted and formulated for coinage alloy, the melt typically contains several thousand ounces. Small amounts are taken out of the crucible with a dipping cup and poured into book molds. When cooled these ingots are broken open and the fillet is removed. The fillet is filled smooth on all sides and swaged or flattened on one end. This is what is fed into the rolling mill.
