When coins were hammered during the early days of coinage, some people would clip a metal rim from around the coins. The coins appeared undamaged to the casual observer while the person doing the clipping had enough extra metal from many such clippings to make a small profit when these were melted and sold. 1, record 1, English, - clipping
