Circulated coins are produced for everyday transactions and are designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily use. They are minted in large quantities and distributed through banks and other financial institutions.

Characteristics
  • Durability: Made to last through extensive handling.
  • Design: Typically features standard designs that remain consistent for long periods.
  • Finish: Generally has a less polished, more matte finish due to high-speed mass production.
